Andorite Grey in the Colorado Sunshine

These were shot today in Denver, CO by Greg at Glauser to show me the Andorite Grey in the sunlight. Amazing color differences depending on the angle of the sun and location of the car. Enjoy. I am convinced this is the color for my new S550

That's a lot of S550s. And nice sunshine pictures. Better than the rain/snow ones.

Yeah...he's got a lot in stock but he sells a lot also. I know they sold 400 S430's last year so his allocation must be huge. They claim to be the largest S Class seller in the states.

Careful, Jack - those show girls can cost you more than a new S-Class MBZ....

I like the color - I still think that it is between that and the Barolo Red for me with one of the S65's (the USA one).

Still haven't narrowed down choices for the one in Europe....

I think that you have picked an outstanding color combination for your new S-

That's the nice feature of this color...it depends on the lighting and angle you view it how the color looks. All these are Andorite Grey shot this afternoon. If you want one of those in-stock cars I am sure Greg would work with you...:-)

Gorgeous car Jack. That color really does come alive in he direct sunlight.

It is wierd to see that many W221s on a Benz dealers lot when the dealer here don't have any!

I wouldn't have the heart to do that...this guy has moved that car all over the lot to get me pictures of this color. Dealer reps are not usually this accomodating to signed order customers...LOL

They have a large eBay sales operation. As I have mentioned, they claim to be the largest S Class dealer in the US.
