Was siting in an Irish Bar in Kuala Lumpur last night and looked up and happen to notice an old music video (mid song) and was chuffed to see a 280SL which looks certain to be same colour as mine 906G (Grey Blue) - in fact, I thought it was mine when I saw the interior was cream with blue piping - which is exactly as mine was when I purchased it via UK ebay in 2010.
The music clip finished without them listing the artist or song name - I thought it was Annie Lennox (bar was too noisy to hear anything) and starting searching for the clip on my phone. On no - nothing came up! I ran to the DJ but he couldn't remember - fortunately he managed to do a search and confirmed it was "Roxette - Fireworks". Not sure if anyone posted this before but check it our below.
I realised it wasn't mine (apart from the different plate which could have been changed) as it has a white steering wheel and mine has black. I also noticed the rear mounted aerial whereas mine is in front. Oddly enough, when I purchased my car it had a black wheel with a (non standard) white steering hub padding and this one has a white wheel with a non-standard (black padding). Maybe the dark seat piping and contrasting wheel hub was the 'thing to do' back in the UK at some period in time?

p.s - Just noticed it looks to be a manual.....and missing the lid to the ashtray.
