W123 Brown Dash?

Did MB make a brown Dash for the 123s?

Check this nice one on eBay... or is this guy color blind?

That's a PGM Auto auction. They are experienced MB recyclers. If the guy says it's brown then it's brown.

You would think those guys would know if it had been painted and advertise it as such if it wasn't "factory issue" I have never seen anything but blue and black, why would anyone want any other color?

I'm going to ask him because it does in fact appear as an overly exposed photo of a black dash giving it that off black look, however it is unlikely the guys at Potomac German Auto are color-blind. They get a lot of cars formerly owned by diplomats so you might be surprised at what has been produced for markets other than the US. Look how much they want for it. If it were black it would be about 200, blue 250.

Euro models had a blackish brown dash, but it is very subtle. A deep dark brown like those in 126's and 116's were not found on the w123.
