Any other 300SD's or w126s with red interior?

I've been looking all over CL, ebay, and the likes, but I can't seem to find any 300SDs with red leather interior. Looking for floor mats, and other misc parts to save for spares.

That and I'm just curious as to how "rare" my car is or is not. I've seen tons of blue, grey, black, tan. But no red. Does anyone have a list of all colored interiors produced by MB from the factory? Tall order, I know. The more I look around, I see tons of individuality between cars. Its fantastic.

That I do, finally. Took me YEARS to find it. Did you ever find the box of other bits or did it disappear into the garage abyss?

I also do have the power rear seats w/ heaters, doesn't work like most of the fun bits the W126 had when new. Oh well.

How do the power rear seats work? Do they recline? What do they look like compared to the stock bench? Where and what does the control panel look like?

I THINK I know where the box is......let's just say, I need to take the 8foot step ladder to storage with me.
