The Manganese Brown is nice when the paint is in good condition, but both of the cars I've had it on,,, not so much. However, the parts I repainted, very nice.

In search of my 1987 300D in anything but white.

I'm a China Blue fan myself

I'm going to have to second this vote. I think that green really suits the W123 nicely.


However I do have to give some points to English Red which is a really standout color.

The favorite W123 color combo I've owned was silver blue metallic mated with a black leather interior. Too bad it wasn't the finest example.



My long time favorite before that was silver with blue interior:



I never realized my keeper, Ol' Turbo, was such a rare in popular color. It took time for it to grow on me.

nice e500. i assume these are 9x18's in the rear and either 8.5 or 9x18's up front? pretty nice rear window shade, too. is this car registered on 500ecstasy.com?

haha. by the way guys, this colour was popular in the early 70's, especially on american muscle. i still own my mom's second car, a '70 firebird esprit, painted orbit orange. same colour as the gto judge. there were plenty of hemi's in similar orange red

That particular 500E is very well known on the east coast and I think its only driven to shows (Including one that The Don hosted way down in Florida) It is very tastefully modified and in absolute mint condition

nice, nice. no doubt he's registered it on the site. though technically, this is a 124.036, making it an e500 (you can tell from the rear end)
