280SL undercarriage genuine paint color
« on: September 30, 2014, 01:57:10 »
What was the color of the undercarriage?
On mine it was a kind of grey.
Was it the same color on all, what ever was the car's livery?

What was the color in the passenger's area?
Was it always the same as the outside livery, or different?

And behind the dashboard?

Color behind the dash and everywhere else in the cabin = chassis color
