That red is a MB interior color with the correct pebble grain. It was not offered for a W123, but if someone wanted it, they could get it. It was a few years before the W123. I knew that I did not want the Navy Blue or the Palamino. I orginally wanted the avocado, but the wife shot me down on that one. She actually picked the red. I need to dye the rear door cards and sills, and put down the carpet over the driveshaft hump to get the total effect. Right now, still got too much palamino for the final verdict. I think getting rid of the wood and going with carbon fiber will make the CF really pop against the red. Plus, installing red seat belts has turned into a greater challange than I initally thought. Assuming my back heals, et cet., this is my fall project -- complete the interior !
