"Try to be more polite to MR SHAH , & then maybe I will answer some of your question .
Dont assume that we are ALL girls ! "
I am sorry that you think me rude. The two Kemels that I know of are both girls and taking the tone from your posts I assumed you were one too please.
Regarding your car:- The color is an unusual one in the UK and I remember hearing that it is considered unlucky ( something to do with Bentley I think ). There are several EX US Texas cars all LHD for sale in the UK, two of which are on SL forum
http://www.slpagoda.com/display_advert.cgi?advert_id=46They are both green and although one now appears sold they have been for sale for ages. I wondered if yours was one of those. A fair assumption as yours is green and LHD.
I see from your picture that yours IS the considered by SOME the more desirable 280. The 230 being next and then the rarer 250...no comments please.
ONE of the points of this forum is to help people to get their cars to original spec and you will find many posts asking what color should the inside of the trunk be and where exactly should this decal be stuck, and even if I recall correctly a separate post regarding the color of the interior mirror. I think that on the later 280's it was black. Yours is chrome.
When I was having many of my cars 'corrected', I would have loved a forum like this please. Perhaps you should think yourself lucky please.
There are also many posts around, some on other forums regarding the difficulties selling LHD cars in RHD Countries and vice versa and having lived in the UK for some time, albiet years ago and driving a Silver RHD 280( all correct but took 18 months to sell ) and having NEVER seen a green one, I wondered why you buy a green LHD. It's a fair question please.
Try not to be so sensitive, if you just want posters to coo over your car and just say nice things, then say so please.
