    This blue looks very similar to the 1997 40th Anniversary Edition SL320's that had grey leather interiors.
    Lovely cars that work great as DD's when you don't want to fire up the Ferrari for just a run to the PO or Bank.

    As production car engines go, the Mercedes M119 is one of the best ever made, hugely strong and tuneable, so good that Mercedes used them to win the 24 Hours of LeMans in 1989 and had perfect reliability even using the factory crankshaft.
