I am not alone.
I came to work today and was pleasantly surprised to find a Magnesium Brown (love that color) 240D manual in the parking lot today. Of course I had to park next to it. The new rentacop is the (quite proud) owner of it. It has a sweet Zebrano shifter in it.

I like the 480 color, but man does the sun do some serious damage to it. On both of the cars I've painted pieces on, the color really does jump out.

Love that Zebrano in mine. Sometimes I wish it was a richer color, but the white has lasted very well and sure hides a lot of little flaws.

I made this adapter shaft so I could use a 2" EMPI aluminum ball on mine.

You are not alone - I'm a proud owner of a Magnesium Brown (480) 1981 W123 300D. I must confess I didn't like the colour much when I bought the car but it has grown on me... it is certainly very typical of the time.
Recently I came across a brand new Mercedes with almost the same colour (it was ever so slightly lighter) so perhaps brown is coming back in.

I've checked in on this thread expecting a photoshopped pic with an alien in a W123

Does anyone know if/where I can get a leather shift boot? My vinyl one is all torn up and I'd like to replace it with something nice. From a W124 or 201?

Yeah I hear you. the vinyl/rubber boot for the 240 is ugly. I have been looking for a leather boot for my 123. I pulled a leather boot off a 201 at PNP, but seems like it is way small .I was thinking we could use it for a pattern and make a leather boot. I haven`t come across a 124 with a shift boot yet. not sure if the hole is the same size as a 123. Charlie

They say they accept paypal. I don't know how reliable they are though... SO BUYER BE WARNED! I guess shipping to the USA will probably be as much as the cost in euros for the item you are buying... Sorry I can't find a more local solution for you! But you know they are out there...
