I've seen this car on the 'net before. It's not to my tastes.

I'm going to be charitable and believe that it was spec'd up by someone who was colour-blind, rather than someone who wanted to ruin a perfectly good car..

Cheers,

I think certain car colours should just be eliminated entirely. I've always hated green cars. I don't get why people even like GREEN on things they drive or use. On trees, grass, and plants, it works. On cars, appliances, decor, etc.........disgusting. Whatever, just my $0.02.

I don't think many will ever like that colour. Reminds me of a bad kitchen from the 50's.

However, the fact that it is probalby super rare kinda makes it ok for some reason.....Just knowing you can have "one of the very few" of anything is always nice.

So rare that you can sell it for a lot of money to a Mercedes collector.

I could paint my C43 bright pink and that would make it one of a kind rare, still don't make it attractive. I wonder if the owner is Irish

The point i'm trying to make is, the c43 came from the factory the way
it is and not modified the paint in any way, shape or form.
A good example is the gullwing MBZ, it drives like a piece of S%$T
but it can command a LOT of money in a collector's world.

ob1, i want to know what you do that you have been behind the wheel of a 500k gullwing mercedes? The Gullwing and c43 are not a valid comparison. I love my c43, but c'mon, the gullwing is a piece of art and a legend

don't take him serious, look at him, his avatar is a cartoon caracter, and signature is a HITMAN poster. what do you expect from him? he lives in fantasy world. He is probably a teenager or something, otherwise it's pretty embarrassing. everyone knows green in Irish colour

My unlce has a C280 in a greenish color similar to that, he bought it here in the US so I dont think it was just a European color. I like it though.

Wow, if that is true, cool job. Also, congrats to your Dad for driving/owning one of my all time dream cars. Do you have any pics?

Shut the f*ck up already!

C43 was asking for clarification and you jumped into the whole thing.

You're questioning childish signatures and avatars while your screen name is Sinister??? Uh, you chose your screen name didn't you? Who are you Darth Vader? Who's living the fantasy now? People can change their signatures all day long depending on their mood while you'll always be "sinister"

You're right, post count doesn't mean **** but you joined last month and seem to have made som many friends

That color green, no thanks. My father's Forest green E430 looks pretty nice though.
