Based on the Mercedes-Benz museum's website, this is likely their 1964 230 SL - http://www.museum-mercedes-benz.com/download.php/en/230

This has the satin black (inside) rear view mirror introduced in 08.67 during the production of the 250 SL. But as the 280 SL was introduced soon afterwards it's far more likely it's one of those.
I vote for a 280 SL.

This original plate was contributed by one of us from the German license plate collector's forum :) I can ask, by whom exactly. Some years ago we got a demand of Mercedes Benz for original, undamaged plates for their exhibits, so some of us digged out some pairs for that purpose.
Guess, who gave this pair of plates: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pilot_michael/5102562631/ :whistle:

btw.: Mercedes Benz was the one and only car-brand, resp car-museum-owner, which is that picky for those details. All others are much dumber and ignorant about the last kick of authenticity [:kiki]

I do agree with you.
In Sweden all registered cars got new licence plates in 1972-74 when they changed from one or two letters followed by a lot of numbers (based on the county and when the car was registered) to a plate with three letters followed by three digits. Not all letters was used in the beginning, but only A until E (the first of the three letters).

When I see an imported car (almost all Americans) they usually begin with P until X and Z which seams very out of character.
