Joe,

Can you let me know how you did this work?

I'd like to replicate it for the cl65s.

Thanks.

I'd pm you, but I'm a new member.

 

The MB archive is a good place to start. For some reason they don't provide all production counts, but it will give you a rough idea. The CL65 production appears to be fewer than 3000. They show 777 units for 2004-2005, no data for 2007-2010, and 1132 units for 2010-2013. The production number is under "General Data" tab. They'll have a number or show "not separately documented".

MB Archive - CL65 data

Getting ALL the data involves scraping it from the VIN decoder sites, which is fairly painful. My approach requires some knowledge of web scripts and SQL databases. I used a CAPTCHA solving service in my script to get to the build data.

 

Joe.

Thanks for the reply.

I was hoping you might have the code in a GIT repo or something and I could use your code to get started.

Would you mind sending me a pm?

Thanks.

The code connects to my own online SQL database so it would have to be scrubbed. Not sure when I might do something like that. If I do, I'll put it on Github. As is, it requires an online SQL database and an account with anticaptcha.com.

I forgot that I also pulled data from the Mercedes EPC (MB parts catalog). If you have a local installation of EPC then the database used by the datacard feature is installed. In theory, it contains all models of MB vehicles. You would expect it to be the final authority on all MB vehicles, but it was missing quite a few of the SL65s, so it's not perfect.

It's been a while since I messed with the EPC database. I'll see what I can find there for 215379 and 216379.

 

WDBSK79F26F113293. thank you.

 

@nuge , @Gbc I've decided to start scanning for CL65s. Will let you know when I have data (could be several weeks).

 

my vin is WDBSK79F95F090884
in 946u color, could you please give me informations? thanks

 

Here's your stats report and build sheet. That is a fairly rare color!

 

@nuge Sorry, I somehow missed your request. Here's your reports....

 

Just finished a preliminary scan for the SLS. Surprised to see that there's 11,450 of them out there.

 

Thank you.

 

@jmattioni, any info you have on my SL65 would be great, thanks!

Here's the stats report and build sheet for your vehicle. I've been adding features to the stats report, like the background image and facelift stats, so you're the first to see those. Let me know if anything looks wrong. Thanks.

I've recently added data for SL55 and SL63 for all years, as well as SLS and SLR McClaren. I'm still in the process of hunting down gaps in the data, but it looks fairly complete.

 

This is phenomenal, thank you so much for your hard work!!

thanks in advance

 

I'm curious if you can confirm location as Puerto Rico?

There's multiple codes for USA and I'm still sorting those out.

 

From the carfax it was registered in Massachusetts, now it’s located in Italy.
Thank you

 

I have since updated the location to USA. Here's the updated reports for your SL65.

 

This is my first attempted post, as I just recently discovered this forum. I own two R230s that I would love to know more about, especially how many were made in the same configuration. If you can help me, I am especially appreciative! Thank you

For Joe (jmattioni) , did you manage to also get data on SL55s' ? If available ,I'd be most grateful for such info on WDBSK72F37F122936 , it's a Canadian delivery , a white P30.

 

Yes, I have the R230 SL55s in the database. Your build sheet and vehicle stats are attached.

Didn't know the SL55s are fairly rare!

 

Wonderful ! Thanks so much , especially liked seeing that unicorn status on the stats report !
Appreciate the sharing of information effort , Cheers ! , Marc.

 

Hi Joe ( jmattioni ) I would highly appreciate if you could provide me also data on my 2008 SL55 WDBSK72F48F138587,
Thank you.

 

Hi Joe, if I could get a report for my SL55, I'd greatly appreciate it! My VIN is WDBSK74F33F041992

@jmattioni
