The historians say not available. So why do I own one?

can someone explain this please. Slate Gray Metallic was available in 1989 and 1991 as a special color but not 1990. So why is my 1990 Slate Gray Mettalic. Their must be an easy explanation for this

I have a '90 C2 manual and is Slate Grey Metallic (L22D).

I think the earlier color was stone grey metallic. I have seen it right beside my slate grey car and stone is a bit lighter.

It certainly was available. From the MY ‘90 brochure, lower right:

^ thank you for that. We can safely say Slate Gray Metallic was offered as a special color in 1990.

…and the original color should be on your sticker (23F), or at least as ‚custom color‘.

Sadly no longer with us (sideways into a concrete wall nr Le Mans) :(

P.S.. According to this, slate grey ("schiefer metallic") was available from 1990-1992 and switch to water-based in 1990.

I had a '90 Schiefer. Perfect road trip car, looked awesome color dirty or clean.

Sorry for all the pics. Last one.
Interesting to see the different shades of Schiefer together.
