Now this is interesting, we know the old USSR wasnt into the Western art of decadence, but WOW! Story is this is part of a clear out in the Soviet embassy in Turkey, Craig you might be able to confirm this too. Anywho, Black on cream velour 280S. Stunning!

I wonder why a diplomat choose this model?
I know that in Brazil it's not unusual to find 'lesser' models with higher specs that 'superior' models. My own Lady Geneviève is an example of that, her first owner was a high-ranking military offical during the Brazilian dictatorship.

Every time I see a good black 116 it helps tempt me to go that way for trusty rusty.  I'm thinking black on black with polished Pentas.

Well I've always been a leather fan, but since I have three other benzes with black leather, I think this one might go velour.

I soooo want a black W116 now :)

I reckon a white W116 and a black one would suit me perfectly...perfect contrast and all and I like the look.

I guess when the 350SE recieves a full repaint....hmm... ::)

wow, that is cool. I like the fabric seats. This car looks like it was in the Russian Mafia or something.
