Thanks for posting! Interesting color names, "Brazil" instead of "Dark Brown".

I didn't want to go there, but I noticed that as well.

On a more serious note - can we get a true scan of this rather than just a photograph? I am happy to combine scan files into a PDF if necessary.

Thanks !

The brochure is in true mint condition, so I don't really want to flatten it out at this time, but my thoughts could change if I get involved with some copious amounts of primo adult beverages over the holidays and loosen up. We'll see.

The important thing is that we now have the official factory info regarding what the Sportline options were & what models they were available to.

Not to mention introducing yet another "official" (US-market) name variation for light-tannish leather upholstery

Uh, not to pick nits, but that brochure is for the UK market. Note that the Sportline kit was offered on estates (wagons) over there, but not in the USA. In addition to the colorifics, they also spell things funny, like "tyres" and "limousine".

Mutually exclusive items, Honch...but truthfully I didn't drive the 500E much this year either. The few times were memorable...probably worth a couple decent stories down the road (testing my theory regarding the stealth qualities of 040 vs. modern radar). The cops must've stopped looking for me by now, but I'll wait til Springtime just to make sure.
