Do I Love or Hate This Bamboo Colored Interior?
I cannot decide whether this is really nice or a bit over the top. Has anyone seen this color in person?
PS- I live in Texas and have nothing to do with the sale......

My first new MB was a 1979 450SL in Signal Red with Bamboo interior, just like your photo. I thought it was just gorgeous at the time and I still do. However, when I got my next SL, a 1986 560SL, the color then was Palomino, which was a bit lighter and I recall liking it a bit better. Here are some photos of how my car looked, but these are not of the car I actually owned and one photo is a 1988 or 1989.

I suppose if one were to contact MB about these colors in a modern SL heads would explode in Germany.....
