Love the color! Nice looking car, I too want more pictures....

Looks beautiful.

Some people swapped euro parts back on after federalization. My grandpa imported a silver blue metallic 280ce, customs made him change headlights, tail lights, corner lights and bumpers. As soon as the car was in his driveway he swapped everything back.

It's amazing the variety of changes made to these grey-market cars. My '84 Euro TD, and a Euro 230TE of a friend, came with US front bumpers, but kept the Euro rear bumpers. (What's up with that?!) Mine has a US speedometer (which reads way too fast) but no EGR or door-beams, and it had Euro lights when I bought it, but I was forced to swap-in my spare US headlamps as both Euro lenses were broken and the lamp reflector bowls had corroded. I also installed a US rear bumper since my Euro one was badly mangled. I've now collected the correct Euro speedometer, Euro lights and wagon bumpers to put mine back to original someday - if I ever get caught up with all my other projects!

Happy Motoring, Mark
