I've seen a lot of teal coupes and sedans but not much for wagons. Now that would be really sweet!

Did not realize what such a nice color that was until I saw Tyler's and Gary's car in person at the MB meet we had back in January 09.

I generally don't like greeen much but these green benzes are strangely attractive to me. I am considering bidding on it just for the interior. Mine is falling apart rapidly.

I do know I audio-swapped a few times, at least it's instrumental now.
Not a 123, but here's my other "green" oldie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qLtdELqr08

Back to the greens... some more 123s for scrutiny or praise

few random thoughts:

-seafoam green looks nicer to my eyes on a w123 than blue-metallic. specially on a coupe
-w126 cookie cutters look fug on a 123
-8-holes actually look pretty nice, and so do those rial mesh's. of course amg pentas PWN

yeah, weird thing, on a w201, shades of green were the most plentiful colour options, might be that way on the 123, too, since most of those colours were carryovers

pretty sure this is seafoam--prolly the nicest blue/green colour for this chassis

really? those lime green interiors aren't that rare in my area. i've only ever seen it maybe a dozen times. they seem to be more common on the w114 poverty models than 240d's. either way they seem to be found on the lowest models of either chassis. a nice colour if you ask me. i'd totally rock that color just to be original OG gangsta

the darkest green color can be seen in this page--it's the one where two euro w123's are parked side-by-side and you can see the headlights on both
