For comparison, here's a shot of "250-Cognac Leather" on an earlier 280 SE 4.5 (001315).

The remainder of the car is a 1972 finished in "291-Dark Olive". It was purchased by my mother on August 26, 1971 and has traveled all of 58,000 miles since then.

Perhaps the fondest memory of my mother's use of this car came on the afternoon when she arrived at our family home on eastern Long Island and casually remarked that she had been driving 125 on the Expressway on her way there. By the way, her previous cars were a 1959 270 HP Corvette and a 1961 300SL. I still have the 300 SL along with the 280 SE 4.5.
