A hint to help the community to help you

When you are asking questions related to your car, it could be easier to
answer, if you post the first digits of the chassis number.
This is a great help because MB uses a coding system that is described in:

http://www.mercedesbenzregistroitalia.it/esemplari.htm#Decifrazioni

Unfortunately, the description is in Italian language. But you might
find it useful and relatively easy to understand.
FOR YOUR SAFETY DON'T POST THE WHOLE NUMBER. Skip the last 4-6 digits.

An essential lexikon:
Cambio = Gearbox
Benzina = Petrol
Significato = Meaning
Telaio = Chassis
Motore = Engine
(*) From 1953 until 1959, if the last digit of the chassis is "1", the
car was including factory installed tissue sliding roof.

Bye bye from Italy. Cordy
