On the microfiche copy of my data card, there is writing in the bottom right corner. I haven't been able to decipher it so I'm curious if anyone has any ideas?
-
That's a challenge. A previous owner or a service dealer may have made some notes on the card, which meant something to him but not to anybody else. It is not of factory origin. And I can't even decipher anything German.

My guesses
ATFL -automatic transmission fluid
20
PS - power steering
ECIRO??
TW
TG
WW - whitewalls

Too bad it's not Arabian Gray anymore! :-) It's a shame your datacard was defaced. Maybe it is some checklist done at initial delivery by the dealership?
AT/FL could be: Auto Trans / Full (of fluid) or Auto Trans / Floor (code 420)
TW, TG: Aren't they key codes? Looking at field 21 here: https://www.sl113.org/wiki/DataCard/DataCards#DataCardVersion1
On version 2 probably your style data card, fields 16, 17, 18 should be for your keys.
Middle of bottom row could be a few things! (Related to Power Steering?) Do any of these mean anything to anyone?

Maybe the dealer remembered fields that were on older versions of data cards and was trying to fill in some details not included on the "newer" data cards??

I kinda like the writing on it. But no worries, I had Darren (alpina) make me a clean set. Those are not related to the key codes.
Someday, when I decide to tackle the undercoating that was applied by a previous owner and deal with the rust, it may get returned to Arabian Gray
-
Sorry my Arabian Gray wasn't available to drive to the Sandhills event this year. Make sure you see a couple examples in person (on a Pagoda, Ponton, or W108) before you decide. It's not for everyone.

I may be wrong, but it has always been my impression that data card copies from the Classic Center come from factory microfiche files and would have no dealer input.

That’s always been my understanding too. So I’m quite surprised to see any writing at all. I doubt you will ever be able to decifer it all. A few mysteries in life are ok.
