Not diesel related, not directly anyway.

Now this is an interior color you don't see everyday.

Not to bad but takes some getting used to.
I prefer the sand color interior myself.

I saw one a couple of weeks ago.

I was in the MB section of a local junkyard here and saw one with that color interior. Have to go back and get a couple small pieces from it. But that green interior looked awful in the junkyard. I think it had been exposed to the air for a couple of years. If I remember correct the exterior was a "sand" color. Not very appealing.

It also has a green exterior. I saw quite a few of these color W123s in Ukraine a few months ago. I guess it was popular in Europe years ago. But this one sure looks like a US spec car....

Are you guys nuts?

That color is awesome! It screams 1980's. I love the weird colors on these cars. I'd love to have my 300D in that weird Manganese orange, but alas I think my father would kill me if he had an orange obomination parked in the driveway.
