WDBHA33G3WF691555 (Factory C55) - Are You Here?
Hey guys,

I've been buying original brochures, documentation, etc. to complete my C43.

I bought an owner's manual that came with a bunch of paperwork. Turns out it belongs to a 1998 C55 (yes, factory C55) when I run the VIN - silver on black. VIN: WDBHA33G3WF691555

If you're here, I'd like to snail mail you some of this paperwork as it's worthless to me, but will be worth something to you. Also included is a lot of paperwork for the aftermarket rear spoiler (I guess it was installed at the dealer) and the key tag.

Hmm, that shows as a 98 c43.

I think w202 c55 was only offered in 2001 as a 2000 model.

Not sure what years they were available, but mbdecoder says it's a C55

Regardless, doesn't change my offer of the paperwork.

Odd. Guess it's broken.

MB archives do confirm factory C55 ran the whole production. https://mercedes-benz-publicarchive....xhtml?oid=5500

Nope, they were offered during all the production years of the W202 C43. Convertion to a C55 was made in the AMG workshops in Affaltenbach using a customer's C43 as the base vehicle
