Hi Sergio,

the Datacard looks like this. On the Datacard you can find all important informations about the car it was delivered with. The customer of Mercedes Benz always got several of these Datacards together with his new Car. It is quiet normal that these cards got lost when you buy an old car 5th or 7th hand. But: als Paul described you can get a copy of your datacard at Daimler-Chrysler. On this card you can find the code-numer for the keys that fit to your car.

Anyway: for your car you should have 3 keys! The "1-key-fits-all" - system was realized later.

Good luck and best wishes,
Dan.

are the keyslots all original or that they could have been changed in some time.

If changed, we can hardly help you from here ...
If it are the original with ONE key, than you should have a key with a more or less square handle and the naerly the same key with an round / oval handle. Only the grooves should be a bit different but the contours should be both exactly the same.

The square should fit on all the slots. The oval should only fit on the thrunk and the glovebox.
There is a method to make fit a different key's on your slots. Your MB-dealer should know how to do so.

Hi Paul!
Kann die FG-Nr. stimmen, wenn nur 3.797 280er-Coupés gebaut wurden?

I can't say if the keyslots are all original.

Is there any way to see if they are?
The only key I have has the round/oval handle wich fits the ignition and the fuel cap slots.
