Thanks Frank. That pic was taken about 3 weeks ago, right after a friend detailed it. He's one of the best detailers I've ever seen, truly a master at his craft. That's the original 1998 paint!

Anyone near Memphis feel free to contact me for his info. He's worth every penny.

He actually demanded I tell MB of Memphis NOT to even wash the car, so I could get it straight to him before any marring was done to the paint. This didn't happen, but he's going to get his hands on the new car soon.

On the subject of silver, thought I share a pic I snapped when I was placing the order for my car a few weeks ago. This car belongs to a client of mine, and sheer coincidence put me at the dealer when he was taking delivery.

Classic MB color, no doubt:

I do love the Classic MB Silver. For a car that I'm going to keep a very very long time, it had to be silver.

SpeedofSound, (Alan) congrats on your new purchase, and welcome to MBWorld !

Make sure you get your MBWorld.org sticker from Ricky.

2005 C230K Sport Sedan in Brilliant Silver/Black

I was going to ask the same thing... my C230K is Brilliant Silver and my neighbor across the street has an Iridium Silver C350. I can't tell the difference (maybe because they're not side by side) but my neighbor came out one day while I was washing mine and said "Hey yours is a different silver!" In the C class brochure the difference seems to be that the Brilliant Silver has a whiter, brighter color and the Iridium Silver has more of a gray tone to it. I don't know though, that's just me looking at two tiny squares of color on paper...

you're absolutely right Amy_fl
the Brilliant Silver (744) is a bit brighter
while the Iridium Silver is a grayer (darker), but not by much.

A side-by-side comparison photo in clear sunlight, will show the very little difference, in nothing else but shading.
