For some season white just doesn't pop on the R129. I drive a silver one and think it looks perfect. Until I saw a '99-'01?? go by in that Merlot or deep burgundy color, chrome AMG monoblocks, with a black interior. I liked it so much I had to snap a picture as it went by.

You mean like mine
That color is officially 572 Ruby Red metallic.

Color

I like Firemist Red or "Amber Red" as the Russian VIN decoder calls it. I have a triple black cabriolet and I can never leave the top down in the sun as it bakes the interior. So the java interior works well for sunny days in my SL500

Imperial red

Whatever you have is probably your favourite. I always wanted an Imperial red with a parchment interior, got one, life is good . I think its part of the old fart syndrome !!!

 

[m&m's RED]

Although I have a triple black car there are more than several metallic cars that I like as well as a 582 Imperial Red with a Black interior and Mike's SL7.3 Brabus for many reasons to include his 586 Magma Red.

Hey Lynn, thanks for the complement. Of all the MB red shades, in my opinion, the Magma Red appears closest to a Ferrari Red. It seems a black interior is also uncommon with this color. A rare combination that befits the beautiful lines of the R129. She does seem to turn a few heads!

As usual, Mike comes out of the woodwork and blows away the competition. I have to say, the pano certainly tops it off. (Couldn't help myself.) Good to hear from you M & M, and see great pics.

I think, as others have mentioned, your own combo has a good chance of being one of your favorites. (Black over ash on mine.) Otherwise, we probably wouldn't have bought them. We're all winners....group hug. Fun thread guys.

Yes, this is the red!

Triple black!

Triple black

Signal red with palamino interior...my 92 300sl. Sorry no picture.

What I don't like so well is the black soft top. Has anyone used a different color for the soft top. Mine is due for replacement. I think matching the interior would look better.

My favorite is Magma Red with Java Int. Wait, Thats what I have!!!!!! LOL!!!! The ONLY hard part is keeping the TAN carpet CLEAN!!!!! My next choice would be Triple Black.

 

[jsedita74]

i kinda hate my color but in my opnion the silver with silver arrow interior is the best color combination for this car

 

[rv3388]

My 2001 SL600 is Magma red with black interior/top. It gets lots of compliments as being the best color combo

 

[ian111]

Best color

Mine is the metalic Charcoal (Lorinser rims) with black interior and the one with roof off looks ok too ; )
