892 420SECs were registered in Germany on July 1, 1999 !
From those e.g. 56 in Berlin and four in Saxony.
I bought the only one registered in Saxony-Anhalt (SA) and moved it to Saxony!
BW | BY | BER | BRA | BRE | HH | HES | MV | NS | NW | RP | SAA | SS | SA | SH | TH | D |
174 | 157 | 56 | 3 | 7 | 24 | 80 | 2 | 83 | 204 | 43 | 15 | 4 | 1 | 35 | 4 | 892 |
These data were used to bake the
German 420SEC-cake where every piece represents the number of 420SECs per million of voters; yes, "voters" and not inhabitants because it seems to be very unlikely that a baby is a car holder. The differences are not so evident for West-Germany; a little bit more in the Daimler-Homelands (BW = Baden-Würtemberg) and in the capital of Germany (BER = Berlin). But in East-Germany (BRA = Brandenburg, MV = Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, SS = Saxony, SA = Saxony-Anhalt, TH = Thuringia) the 420SEC is really a rarity. Where the 420SECs running in Germany are to search can be nicely seen in a graph of the upper table.
Refering to
MB-W126.de of Markus Wagner from Germany, about 70% of the 420SECs produced were exported. By formal application of Higher Mathematics one can find that 1104 cars remained in Germany and 80.8% of them survived till 1999. Since the center of gravity of the
production figures is in August 1987, 212 vehicles were damaged during these 12 years till July 1999; means, in average of course, 17.7 exemplars per year or roughly one 420SEC in every 20 days. This would really be a catastrophe !!! Let's hope that some of them will be found in the garages of pensioners or have left Germany in a civil manner.
