The guys at the car wash told me the car had just been acquired by a dealer and was being prepped for his showroom. There was no-one with it to ask, though I confess I lack your eye for detail...so I hadn't noticed the make of tyre.
If you need to know, I'll make it a reason for hanging out at his showroom, only 3 miles away!
Sorry I can't help more
PS If I wind up spending at the showroom, can I bill you?

UKC32--
Nice pictures! I hope I can get a clarification on this one last time...Tansanite Blue in the UK, is that what we would call Capri Blue?
And the Capri Blue CL55...is that a normally-offered paint color? Perhaps my American colleagues can also answer this...

cjileong - I believe Tansanite UK = Capri NA.
But I checked a brochure and the CL is probably Azurite blue rather than Tansanite.
My wife has an Azurite blue E300TD and its slightly lighter than my Tansanite C32, but in some lights you can hardly tell the difference.
Sorry if this caused confusion, didn't notice a difference when I took the pics.
JamE55 - seems I didn't notice much! Off down the showroom to see what I can miss....

Thanks UKC32! So the Tansanite = Capri, and the Azurite is slighty lighter...so either way the CL is basically a capri then... that's cool.
BTW, I love the wheels you put on your C32! And tansanite is a really nice color for that car. Well, besides brilliant silver of course...

Why does MB use different color names in Europe?
UKC32... your so lucky you can drive your C32 on those European country roads, must be awesome, lol. All I got are crowded Florida roads with tons of traffic

Yeh, well the grass is always greener..... got my car at the end of January since when there have been 5-6 dry days in South Manchester.
Yesterday there were flood alerts, and 2 local motorways were closed, one as a precaution because of high winds, the other because a lorry had blown over. It rained too. A 45 minute commute took 2h 15m.
SO3's are awesome in the wet, fortunately.
Want to do a house swap?

young,
How can you live without soccer?
I've been to watch Ice Hockey here in Manchester, and even basketball, but nothing comes close.
And I wouldn't drive a mile in a CL55 if I had to watch curling at the end of the journey.
My claim to fame? Once shared a lift in Montreal with somebody called Wayne Gretski (spelling?). My cousin was freaking, but I was able to remain sooo cool...had no idea who the guy was.

maybe there's only one valet shop (is that what they're called?) in all of manchester! 'cause it rains all the time... ah, sorry about that cliché joke, ukc32 :p
btw, i was ranting about the curling as an olympic sport to my liverpoolian cousin and he said, "but it's the only chance we have for a medal..." how prophetic he was indeed!

Hi Guys,
When I first saw the car it was being prepared for a local dealer, so when I was passing his showroom I called in and had a look at it.
Weather is a bad topic here just now. Went to see Man United play in a gale last night, but at least they won 4 - 0! To hear the opposition's manager, you'd think the wind blew the ball in the net 4 times...
Tell your Liverpool cousin good luck in the race for the soccer championship, they're going to need it to beat MU.
As for curling, weird sport. And our only other (skiing, bronze)medallist is now the subject of a drugs inquiry!
BTW, if any of you are coming to the Commonwealth Games this summer, let me know!
