I never got one when I picked up a 220 SEb at the factory in 1964.  In fact, I've never even seen this decal before.

Neither have I.

I am not half as experienced as some of the fellow Members here, but I did quite a thorough study on decals and never came across this one...

For current Euro delivery (at least from three years ago) there is a metal badge that is the same logo as the one shown. Have never seen one like that for a 113.

Ralph N comment?

Hmmm.... Looks very familiar.     If I received one I never put it on the car.  I will be back in Alabama in a few days and will check my files and revert.

I have seen badges with this logo, have not come across a sticker. Now I started looking as I got curious (even though it would not apply to my car). Found something like this:

By the way: I was always wondering if these badges were attached to the car anywhere? I saw some that had two holes on two sides.

Here's a badge I have too, but it's the only one I have and I plan to install it onto my roadster:

[Pawel66]

Exactly. Was it installed in the car or it was just in the package with the car?

[Lilly]

Neither the badge nor the decals were installed on my '66.  They were included with the purchase of a close friend's new '68 who bought his car via the Program thru a U.S. Dealership in '67 or '68.

My car was also purchased thru a U.S. Dealership via the European Delivery Program in '66, but I don't know for sure if one of these decals came with its purchase or not.  Regardless, I adhered one of them to my '66 for the fact that my car was purchased via the Program and therefore qualified it for one of these decals in my opinion and if someone noticed it at a show and inquired about it, I've got the original documentation to my car's purchase to back up the story, that's all.

Here is some pertinent paperwork that may have been included. This came from my grandfathers files when we were cleaning out his garage.

Having seen what the others posted, if I had an EDP car, I would do what Lilly did, I think.

This thread is a nice learning for me!

Mine is a Euro delivery ordered in Sydney.  I will be putting on the decal.

I had a look today and found the pictured, unused decal in my file.  A bit discolored from 50 years in the folder!  Actually there are two and I found them stuck together in the file from some humidity some time in the past.  I have not tried to separate them for fear of destroying them.  I am also attaching a picture of the instructions on the back of the decal. There appears to be a date of January, 1968, at the bottom of the instructions.  Could be that this was the date they came into use.

Thank you! A piece of history unveiled!
