What colour is my C36?

[JackCarter]

I recently bought this 1995 C36. Just wondering if anyone knows what the name of paint code 239 is (yes, I know it's yellow...)

Also does anyone know what my crazy German checked trim is called? Or was it just known as sport or sport line trim perhaps? Thanks.

Not sure but there is a yellow listed for 1996 which is DB 243 CALCIT YELLOW -MB 1243-

Not sure about the trim though. The yellow C36 is a very rare beast and I believe only available in the European market...well done...

I've never seen a yellow one before ! Mercedes offered a pastel yellow for the early 202 models , but it didn't last long . The trim is standard C36 / sport trim designed to reflect the 1950's SL racers and gullwings . Most cars had leather though .
Pretty much all of the remaining (less than 180 in the UK left ) are silver or black , a few are metallic green and I've got an Imperial red one

OP is in Ozland.

Check trim is pretty common on older Mercs I thought...?

It looks to me like Yellowstone, code 685.

I can find no reference to any paint colour with the code number 239. Interestingly, that code is for helios nappa leather. Nor can I find any calcite yellow under code 243. Colours with codes 2xx seem to be green.

It is a great looking car. The plaid cloth is so much more fun than boring leather. And the yellow paint, well, it's yellow.
