Comment from MisterZ via the forum: Quote If that's a 420SL then it can't be made for USA, since there was never a 420SL in the USA. (indeed, for 1986-1989 they are all 560 SL it seems) So this is a weird combination, how is it possible?
AleX_DJ ◊ 2026-11-04 09:26	Probably a wrong code, it does sometimes happen in MB build sheets - I still wasn't aware of it when I posted the check back in 2022. Safe reference to trust is the Order Location entry on the upper part of the sheeet, Italy in this case. So the made for USA tag is wrong, sorry for the mistake -- Last edit: 2026-11-04 09:27:55
