Very useful site for info, VIN number analysis

[Parrot of Doom]

I thought you lot might like to use this bloody excellent site:

www.mbclub.ru/mb/vin/?lng=eng

I've just used it because my car says 'elegance' but the V5 says 'avantgarde'. The site confirms that I do actually have elegance spec. Its certainly worth a look just to confirm that your car has all the bits it should have, when it left the factory!

Does that mean you drive in high heels & a veil?

No, thats reserved for E-class 'tarty'

Well, call me paranoid but I'm not about to enter my VIN details into any site with a .ru address.

mefoster, the website somehow links up to the factorys FDOK system we use all the time to get car specs, I wouldn't worry too much as the chaps over at www.mbclub.co.uk use it all the time too. It can throw up some funny options sometimes, such as folding tops on a normal saloon. If anyone needs help with anything it throws up, give me a honk.
