As the title states, has ANYONE ever seen an original V63 dull green sunroof cover, or a picture of one? This is for a Mignonette green car.

yes, but I do not believe that to be an original cover? That looks more like the cover one would find on an Agave car?

tough, as dull green was one year only on mignonette rag tops...which there arent many of.

That same green may have been carried over on 1960 Sargasso Green convertibles- in pinpoint vinyl (I once had one). Very rare sir. Back in the early 90s, I tried to locate it places that supplied roofs for Mercedes roofs. Good luck- it's a toughie. Any green these day is very hard to find.
