which of the multiple silvers? (Palladium, perhaps?)

Robert Watson

Yes, my C204 is Palladium Silver.

Thank you!

Last summer I looked at three silver coupes close to one another on the M-B dealers lot.

Diamond, Iridium and Palladium.

All very beautiful colors. However I got a great deal on an Iridium CPO coupe (but probably
not quite as good as CarFax).

Looks really nice, Palladium is great colour.

Our R171 always looked sharp, now it's gone.


Nearly went for a Paladium C204, but instead went for Fire Opal. Enjoying the new car very much too.

I like those hard top roadster coupes. What year was yours, and size motor?

Ours was an '09 MY SLK200, Superchaged 1.8L (183 PS), 6-speed manual. Had tons of fun in it, met some great people through the SLKworld forum. We had a number of run outs with other members, including a drive down to the Dolomites (Italy) and back, about 2000 miles. Took it up to 140 mph on the autobahn and it could hold its own with the bigger engined SLKs around the twisty stuff. Took it to the Le Mans 24hrs twice...

Will miss it, but haven't ruled out getting another one sometime in the future.

.....sure looks like a Quonset hut behind the line of silver (mostly) coupes.............

The building in the background is Sywell Aviation Museum..

Not exactly the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum, but interesting nonetheless.

They are definetly easy to fall in love with, I have!
Couldn't help but notice your car still has temps on, coming together fast! Probably safe to say, it's no lease....lol!
