Does yours have power windows? Mine has them in the front only.
Mine was registered in Arizona and I'm in the process of trying to register it in California. It may be easier just to move to Arizona, though.

Well it could be silver blue metallic with grey interior. And the interior isn't leather or Tex.

So just what kind of blue interior do you have in the astral silver car. Comes up code 032. 100 and 200 are leather and tex don't remember the order.
Seems you have a few more options.

Looks like MB-Tex to me, unless they had some other kind of vinyl then. It sure isn't cloth, except for the door panel inserts.
It has a trailer hitch and rear self-leveling, and power windows front only.

In that era the possible blue interior codes look like 032,132,232, and 932. One should be tex, one leather, one velour, and some combo of cloth for the other.

There was a older women here locally that drove a early 80s Mercedes 280SEL up until about a year ago. It may have been a 280SE, but I think it was a long wheelbase model if I recall- similar to the US 380SEL model, but being a European model- it had the small bumpers. I remember parking by that car one day- only to notice it is a manual shift car, with manual windows, no sunroof and cloth interior. Now I see her driving a new Mercedes sedan. I think it is a C or E Class. Not sure. Her old Mercedes was interesting indeed. I thought it was odd to see a very large, but very plain Mercedes, until I learned that is how some of the European models are.
