"arrite?" What's that??

Here is the reason I love the green/natural color combonation. It is my first new Benz, a 280SL that I bought new in 1970:

I agree with most that while the green isn't horrible I wouldn't order one in that color. Doesn't do it for me. Probably a hard sell.

"very hard sell"?

Hahaha, i see. You buy cars with the intent of selling them immediately.

I had to oogle over these pics again. Very beautiful and classy. Makes the whole car ooze "weightiness". The silver and black has already been done to death.

That green make the SLR appear to mild. It takes away the exotic flavor of the design. It`s not working for me. The interior is nice though!
