Also the color it can resolve the highest resolution. It does
stand out - doesn't it?

My smart French neighbor picked up one of these at an estate auction in VA
for the same price, only it was US and LHD. One owner car, no rust, clean

I was thinking W140/W210 era. Way too many black examples of both of those, at

I don't know if I've ever seen a black W115 or W123 in person, and the number of
black W108/W116 isn't excessive.

Closer to it. The predominant color for all models is silver of which there
are several variations. Maybe 15% black and a few white. New cars for stock
