zodiac ◊ 2012-03-30 11:04	According to this page, which I find rather trustworthy, the paint code might be 1963-71 180 G http://www.sl113.org/wiki/DataCard/PaintCodes .

Am used to many UK mainstream makes first getting metallics from about 67-68, but I suppose it makes sense for a prestige make like Merc to have been a few years earlier. Changing to 63+ 230.
