Re: My paint colour is called what?

I think we are moving closer to solve this riddle.... paint code 7728 is definitely Mövengrau metallic, which was discontinued by Mercedes in 1980, but your datacard also shows code Z98 "Paintwork Outside Sample ard" which leads me to think that Mövergrau metallic is a special customer's order:

You see, it does not even appear in the EPC (see that colour codes go in numeric order):

So maybe your G is even rarer than you think?

Mortinson, you are a genius, i dont know how you do it but thank you so much for all your hard work on this, so am i right in thinking that she is rare due to may things ie all the factory Options fitted but more importantly the special order colour.
I have been trying to also trace the Dealer in Itlay but no joy yet, was told it was a one owner vehicle as well and had full main dealer service history, but some swine stole the handbook/service book when getting it registered to come here. The speedo shows 22879 km and has not been clocked had 20101 km when i got here 2.5 years ago. thanks again Spanner Anna, will tighten up your nuts anytime (only joking as happily married sorry) x

E51 means "Short Range Interference Suppression"

As for the headrests somebody must have removed them from your G.

Cheers

There must be holes to fit them... or not?
