Pesonal favorites beginning with best colors.

Signal Red w/palomino or white interior

Burgundy w/palomino, black or white interior

Pearl Black w/black or palomino interior

Black w/black or palomino interior

Astral Silver w/gray interior

YMMV

Color matters, but it is trumped by condition, I think, if you are buying one.

I'm with Henry Ford - any color, so long as it is black.

It's a sports car it's GOT TO BE RED

Hi

I think that if it's an MG or a Morgan it can be green (British racing green that is) if it's an Austin Healey 3000 or a Bugatti it can be Blue but if it's an open top Benz or Fararri it's got to be RED - the interior doesn't really matter but I prefer black or that "not so subtle" Red and Black leather interior that MB do (or used to do) on the CLKs.

But mainly it's got to be driven, with the top down on a sunny day and Greenday or Bryan Adams on the stereo - Great

Can't you tell we've got a great start to the "open top" Summer in the UK - It's not rained for weeks and at 10am on an April morning and it's already 20 deg C!

Cheers

Jim

I personally have a Astral Silver/Navy Blue SL-C, however, my all time favorite color combo on an SL has to be Black with that tobacco (almost looks burgundy) that came on the '80 SL. That color combo could conquer the world.

On about a '93 320SL:

White exterior / Blue interior with a Blue convertible top. --Absolutely gorgeous, IMHO.

I loathe the look of the hardtop on the last generation of SLs.
