Plenty of Signal Red W124's in the land of Down Under.

Red was a popular colour.

Back in the late eighties early nineties, red cars were easier to sell.
However the later Titanite Red was not that popular. I bought a demo model Red W210 at a very cheap price - Stealership couldn't get it off the floor. The colour need constant polishing to keep it looking good.

There was a popular Australian song back in the eighties - red cars with a wireless (radio) go faster.
