There is an interesting two-color version on eBay (item 150415233582) right now that I have not seen before:
904G chassis and 158H white/gray hard top.  Unfortunately the pix are bit small.

I always thought that the Midnight Blue would look great with a silver top but have not seen one. Interestingly they have at least matched up the hub caps.  It looks in reasonable shape in the photos.

904G in the house! Triple blue paint/top/interior is really one of the best combinations though not very common. Gives the car a sedan-like muscularity. It's like wearing a blue suit instead of black to show some style!



adding another one:

Thanks everyone!
I have made up my mind - 904 it shall be instead of the current DB470.
Unless of course the finance minister has a last minute change of heart.  ;)

I have to ask this.
Why isn't DB470 in the paint section of the Technical Manual?
Is it not a Pagoda color? Or should we get a picture of your car into that area of the website before you change the color?

Correct, DB470 is not a color that was used for Pagodas. I am not sure when MB introduced it but probably in the mid 1970s.
