Its a landmark birthday for my wife this year, so I have picked her up a little present today. (she never looks on here, so it's safe to mention it, but keep it to yourself...)

Bought her a 2000 CLK cabrio in Quartz blue with Siam leather. Loads of toys, nav, elec memory heated seats, parktronic, phone...

Oh, and best of all, 430 V8. Hubba hubba!!

Few little jobs to do. I've got a week till the big day. Wheels need a refurb, couple of tyres, service, valet... That's about it!!

I'll bung up a couple of pics soon.

It comes from Siamese cats ;)

Do you know, I had struggled to find words to describe it...

But yes, it is the same colour as a Siamese cat!! She used to have a coupe in Quartz with Orion grey leather, but that always had a cold look/feel to it. Siam has a warmer tone.
