It was not as dark as Midnight Blue metallic, but getting close. My 1997 S420 in 269U is as dark as my 1999 E320 in Midnight Blue. I saw a 200x E320 advertised as Aspen Green that's probably the color of yours. Had dark tan interior, maybe saddle? That's my favorite color combo, but I have grown to like parchment over midnight blue too. I just like a richer color leather on a green car than the usual pale parchment/mushroom/etc. (my S420 is mushroom) Mitch. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Nice shape, but yeah I noticed the same issue under the hood, plus the engine is rather dirty - need's Martha work. Too bad it is missing a pedal...
