Would be easy to figure = if the first "2" Mark indicates as extra, that means the VIN would 113044 12 004617, a left hand drive automatic 280 SL
CORRECTION - I must have been in a brain fog yesterday morning - "If the second "2" is missing making the VIN 113 044 21 004617, would make it a right hand drive with manual tranny." - is incorrect. It is "20" that would indicate a right hand drive manual.
Sorry for the misstep on my part.
