Hi,
Don't have one but just wondered how it's possible to have the zebrano fascia in a 6.9...or is it a bad retrofit...
Thanks

Here is the info on dash trim that I researched a while back.

Zebrano would be correct on a 1976.

Here is a copy of the info I posted a few years ago:

From start of production to chassis 000546 (sometime in 1976):
All cars got a black console insert around the shifter.
Dash wood was brown tinted Zebrano on all color interiors except Blue.
Blue interior got a reddish tinted Zebrano on the dash.

From chassis 000547 (1976) up to 002261 (1977):
Still a black console insert (no wood yet)
All color interiors got a Caucasian Walnut Zebrano on the dash.

From chassis 002262 up to end of production:
All 6.9's received Knotted (burled) Walnut on the dash as well as the console trim panel.
M120V12
Thank you very much.So l was wrong...l had the impression that all 6.9 were dressed with burlwood like all the top of the line S Class cars.
560SEL and as my 600SEL.
Thank you very much.
