Older Weber one touch

[guy]

I have a chance to buy an older 18" weber one touch grill for $15. Picture shows its color to be an off grey or almost a yellow/orange shade rather than usual black. Says to be over five years old.
Is this color possible and how long has this model been made?
Any info appreciated.

I have 2 twelve year old Platinum I gas grills which have been covered about half the time and they are beginning to lose some of their black. They are turning lighter and have some very small white spots. So I don't know how old a grill would have to be to turn yellow/orange. Does this old grill have wooden handles or are they plastic? Weber started plastic more than 5 years ago so that might help you decide how old it is. and remember the numbering system on the top grate can be found on this site which will definitely tell you how old it is and that might help decide what color it should be
