Myllox,

Your post is confusing, at least to me.  If you have the DATA CARD, as you mention, just post a copy/photo of the data card (blackout the key codes) -- some may be able to help.    It looks like you have a w113 230sl  --- so you can use the decode on this site:

you can find codes for your data card info here:

050 is you paint colour and yes, that is white
112 is your  interior code - the first 1 indicates MB Tex. Turquoise (nice with the White)
723 is a navy blue soft top.

All linked through the link above!

The white with turquoise is a stunning combination!  We have one member with that color combo which I had the pleasure to see in Williamsburg event.

It's maybe a goog combination but car gets a black hard top and red leather interior 

With the data card is possible to know first country where the car was registered ?

and of course black soft top

In the tech manual. The order no contains the country/region code. Yours is 34020677, 3 is the year 1963 and 402 is the country region code which is listed as tourist (except USA), not sure what that exactly means, but that is how it is presented.

Tough one - it's your car so you should do what works for you as you have to live with it.

Red is great as an interior as it sells and is timeless. However, I am increasingly seeing "retro" colour combinations coming back (who'd have thought we'd be seeing brown cars again (BMW, Mini, Fiat)?). The Porsches in loud 70s colours and interiors are stunning and proudly saying "I am a product of this era" - wheras to me, red says "restored to sell". Stickandrudderman has a customer with a metallic green SLC with green velour interior. Completely hideous. But lovely too! Fortunately, the worst of the 70s didn't impact the Pagoda but...

I'd be seriously thinking about the turquoise combination - if you can find it!.

Sorry I'm coming in a late on this one.  My car is light beige with turquoise interior, the one hauser mentioned was in Williamsburg.  Turquoise interior is nice and I get a lot of complements on it, there are drawbacks, for one i've spent 4 years trying to find carpet, and I'm getting close but not there yet.  Now I'm working on trying to match the MB tex on the dash, only hope is to get a custom dye and apply it to the vinyl and then trying to find binding to match, which may also have to be custom made. 

The pics are just some of the strange women who love the color combo and just want to get there pic taken in car, don't have any idea who they are, the dog is mine.
