As a relative MB newb, "260-Elimination of model designation on rear lid" is an interesting one to me. I doubt many U.S. Spec cars had that option. I'd prefer the velour to the Tex or leather but would imagine not many look like this after 24+ years.

A stupid question but where are the 5 spheres located?
