Lol... Rare yes, but that's definitely not a factory color you are seeing, I bought it from a person of European nationality that told me he painted it himself a couple years ago. It was in need of a turbo oil seal. Orig it was the light silver blue color with a blue MB tex int. About a year or so ago right before the transmission needed replaced (Lol), my friend was scrapping a 124 with a nice black tex interior so we gutted both cars and put the black in mine. On the subject of paint and body My buddy is doing all the work including buying the good paint and clear for $1700
