Hi Mike~

I have a 1983 300D and its painted Astral Silver which is orginal. I had to look through a lot of diesel benz's before i found this one. While that color has been on benz's forever it seems it was hard for me to find this one.
Interesting that my best friend and I drove the car and spent a night at her brothers house he asked me a few questions about the car like gas mileage, was the turbo diesel the top of the model that year, and was that color (Astral Silver) the only color on those cars those years? Of course it wasn't.
