Dear guys.

Im really happy to find this site and let me introduce myself. Im Jose Balbiani and i live in Waldorf, Ahrweiler. I had already 2 w201 16v, and now i purchased a really weird now.

I bought a car with first registration on 27th January 1984, which mean that is definitely a pre series one.

The guy that is selling it to me said that he heard that was a media car but i have my doubts, even to believe that might have been a Nurburgring car. Facts are that the car born without Klima and later on, the klima was fitted at Mercedes Benz, where the single switch was, they add the double.

What i would like to know is about the owners of the car... Is there any office i can go with the VIN and know who where the owners?

Thanks for any help

Schrauber. I dont think is a championship winning car from Nurburgring, but im sure it belonged to a very influential person in Mercedes Benz, probably a director or a journalist. Car was sold to export in 1988 and now im bringing it back.

The FIN is WDB 201034 1A 034425

Ok. So first thing i know, is that the car is 1983

Any chance to get the original plate and owners in germany?

And, with engine number seven must mean that was the 7th car built, non prototype.. or maybe was proto i dont know...

Car is full leather.. But also car was without klima, but later on was installed in MB factory.

Thank you Micha...

Maybe trying with cars of the media pictures like

S HC 4589
BB KL120
BB VY20
S HH 7801

You think in Mercedes there no records of VINs?
