It's cool, I didn't mean anything by it, it's not like I have a massive post count either, I'm much more of a forum lurker. I was just surprised that it was your only posts, maybe I should be more honored.

But yes as you can see it is indeed a Euro market car, if it went to any other country between leaving Europe and going to US I'd be surprised, the car has been registered in Hawaii since 1993 when it received the final conversion at G&K in California.

But here's the pics as promised: (and I realized I need to vacuum my car again hahahah)
Behind Gas Lid


Under Gas Cap


Cruise Control Stalk



Gear Change Gate (my personal favorite)



Oh, and since I had some questions via email, yes, the AC has been converted, its a state law here

OK, OK, Uncle, I am convinced it started life intended for Europe.

I learned a lot in this exchange and for that I thank you all. First, I had never seen a Brilliant Silver car of this early vintage. Second, I learned that one of my cars that is officially a '99 S-Class was actually built in early 1998!
