That's great free online VIN decoder, but some time ago it couldn't deal with US versions of MBs.
Good to see that guys from Russia improved it. :))

Best regards,
Michal

  I googled the vin and found it Tucson. J  I’d go to benzworld.org and post a query in the 126 forum there if there is someone that can go look at it. I remember seeing someone there from Tucson but I can’t remember their name and wasn’t successful in “searching” them. I believe I know the guy but it’s been a while. If it’s the guy I believe it is, he would have no problem going over to the dealer and taking a look at it for you. 

  I sent a message to one of the moderators (Eddie, aka Cyberdrakon, also from MBCoupes) in the W126 section of Benzworld to see if he can find the Tucson guy.

  Later,
