Has anyone got a picture of a 116 with a red interior?

Well,it obviously exist but it's probably more rare than hen's teeth.

From an ad ....

red leather with..... yellow paint.  Shall we say, not the most um, obvious colour combo.

That is bad, but nice to know that they exist!! I see it is a 350SE with the elusive manual transmission and red leather!!

Although the red interior is not my cup of cabernet, I think it's sad he's cut holes for speakers in what must surely be just about the rarest type of W116 door skins.  I imagine when the original owner specified this car, the salesman sad  "...are you sure - really sure?"

Martin 280s

Despite the obvious wear and tear I would feel at home in that! Oh so 70's!

This is more palatable, but still very 70's and quite rare in South Africa.......

Greg is that a S.A. car?  Looks like an S.A. spec car, either late '79 or early '80 - due to the rear headrests and seatbelts.  Nice condition leather.

This is an SA car. I was considering buying it a few years ago, but decided against it. Incedently my white 280S had the same perfect green interior and a 4 speed manual!!

My German is weak but I gather this guy likes his Benzes in yellow.  Lots of yellow 126's.
