I've been asked a couple of times what my interior color is, it is called Corteccia Pearl with anthracite trim and a black alcantara headliner. It's an interesting and not often seen combo, I usually like black on black or silver over black but this looked better in person than in the pics.

2004 SL 500 2002 Vovo S80 T6


My 2004 SL500




Has a USMC test on the side




Guess what that means? Have since removed the front plate since we don't need one in Michigan and had the front end repaired to remove any holes. Also hasa MArine Corp badge on the grill.




My 2004 Marine Corp Tribute Benz




Had the 550 badge when I got it but I am changing it back to the SL500 tag.




I have recovered the seats with original covers and had the interior dyed to match. She looks brand new inside and out and does not show her 80,000 miles. Engine has been updated with all needed repairs.




Typical of most R230s that I have seen the only problem is the usual vacuum and electrical consumer problems.




I love her but have put her into hibernation for the winter.
