Both beige & palomino (MB-Tex/Leather/Velour) upholstery was available on the later W123's. Highly unlikely that you have leather or velour, so look for code 154 (palomino Tex) or 155 (beige Tex) on the radiator cross member build plate.

From: "Gerry Archer" <arche...@embarqmail.com> Date: 10/6/2013 3:51 PM Thanks, Chris! I should be able to find some here. Got a question about the Mercedes floor mats on Ebay. I've heard my wife (who passed away) call the inside and outside of the '83 240D "biege" color. The Ebay mats below are "palomino". Looked palomino up on the 'net and it seems the color can vary between "light brown" and golden or darker. The color of the mats shown on Ebay look pretty close to the color of the 240D. In your opinion, and/or anyone elses, is the color shown what Mercedes generally refers to as palomino. My "color sense" is close to zero. Gerry
