data plate

[mlwarren]

Hello all, I cannot seem to locate the name of my interior, I have searched all the sites I am aware of and find no codes that match my data plate. I have attached a picture of the plate. Thanks in advance, Mike W By the way it is a 1982 280sl

Check there?

Yes, I don't see any numbers that match any numbers on my plate on any of these sites I did find the exterior color quick enough and the color of my other sl cars this one seems strange!

What color is your interior?

[KirkVining]

That plate is probably affixed when the chassis and drivetrain is complete. Interior codes are probably on the door plate.

Dark reddish maroon could almost be seen as dark brown?
Brazil was mentioned but I am ordering a new vinyl wrap for the soft top hatch and would like it to match

590=mars red, same table.

[KirkVining]

Is it tex, leather or cloth?

[KirkVining]

Also, the exterior champagne comes in two different mixes, standard and metallic.

Hey - did you just buy that car? I was looking at a 280 SL in that color in Houston

Where did I miss mars red? Yes I did buy it recently, it's metallic and a manual 5 speed I bought it in Calif.

[mlwarren]

I see, the paint code chart has mars red, do they work for interior leather and vinyl codes as well?

Thank you for your help by the way, MikeW

Sounds like tobacco or brazil.

I will know today or tomorrow if it is Brazil as I have ordered a piece (for the hatch) If not I just do not want to keep guessing and ordering etc. Thanks, Mike W
