Short rear bumper should identify it having a 250 engine, either: - 1968-72 Mercedes-Benz 250 [W 114.010] or - 1971-73 Mercedes-Benz 250 (with 2.8 litre engine) [W 114.011].

Ingo ◊ 2015-03-05 12:31	from what MY is the colour?

A selection might be seen here http://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au/colour_swatch_mercedes_1970.htm here http://www.w116.org/library/colors and here http://www.heckflosse.nl/excol4.htm . To my eye it looks like Arabian Grey DB 124 possibly available years 1961-72, but some kind of grey were always on offer at any time. And still is (I think).

electra225 ◊ 2015-03-05 18:53	I agree: "Arabergrau".
