Nice, but needs some contrast between exterior and interior color. I still have a desire for an SEC (or an R129), feeling that the quality and style of MBs have been in a downward spiral since those models were last made.

I would *prefer* a different color combo and less chromey wheels, but I’d still happily drive that.

I love the color combo (as I like blue), but I will still never understand what possessed people to put the 8 hole/W140 style wheels on older cars. Just doesn’t look right. I suppose a set of stock wheels or even monoblocks or period correct penta wheels wouldn’t cost a fortune.

I think this color might be DB355 “diamond blue”, I had a W126 in the same color:

My dad has one, bought it new, fell in love with it back then and has never replaced it.

That’s the kind of car that, when you finally need to face the corrupt local baron of a small town face-to-face, is perfect for driving into the front of his house like a battering ram.
