I agree with POS, I don't like it, and Idon't think Bruno Sacco or Paul Bracq would either. Purple isn't my favorite Mercedes color either. Maybe it was an interesting styling exercise, and the workmanship is good, but those side strakes, hood scoop and the wing just don't seem to "work", this job should have stayed on paper...

The R107 design was a classic, as were previous SL iterations before it.
