Your "Champignon" (mushroom), is different color than my #265 Mushroom. for 1989. Mine is more like the World's Cream Beige. So no I have to sort between Mushrooms to find the interior bits I need for my 560 SEC. UH...UH.. thanks a lot! LOL!

Chadahar-

My color is kinda like the cream beige too-- I notice that neither of these in WU's site have the same number (265) attached, as both our colors are termed in the MB codes. So I'm sympathetic to your plight. When the time comes to fix some of my leather, I'm gonna have to get whatever is closest and redye the rest to match.... I would love to have the java color, but then again all the other trim pieces wouldn't match.

The code explanation matches what I found on the website mentioned Mercedes-Benz Club Russia | Mercedes-Benz / VIN
Great find, thanks.
