Working out the age of my 560 SEL

I bought a 560 SEL today and I'm trying to figure out when it was manufactured. Basically what year it is.
Chassis number is WDB126039-2A-404151

Take out an ashtray or similar and read the date stamped on the back.That will indicate an approximate date for you.

Hi JP,

Many thanks, the registration book shows it was first registered in 1991. But I guess that was the date it was imported from Europe. Off now to check the ashtray date.
