Very true... All three of ours are silverCough cough...Isn't that all the best Mercedes are silver?
Interesting story...
The history of the silver for MB race cars goes back to a time when in an effort to save weight they decided not to paint the race cars. This of course resulted in the cars being silver coloured (they were aluminium) and ever since then silver has been MBs racing colour.
