Having searched for a while I am now coming to the end of my tether!!! I am looking for a car with the EXACT following spec if anyone can help. A one year old E220 CDI Elegance, Auto, MUST be in Tansanite blue and MUST have dark interior (pref. Anth. Leather!) Any extras such as a factory phone or parktronic would be a wicked bonus!!! If anyone can help, its worth a drink (or two on the GTG!) :cool:

PS: I know there are a few Avantagrdes with the spec I want but I'm not keen on the black wood trim and the suspensions are TOO low!!

Thanks Fuzzer but I'm after an E. By the way, what do you think of this "Violane" colour as an alternative to Tansanite Blue!!?? Just in case I get impatient!! :) The other reason I want something with dark interior is because light colours don't agree with kid's boots!!!!

If you are going to get a leather interior, I can vouch for the fact that the grey (often matched with a blue exterior) is OK, even with kids.
We ran an Azurite blue/grey leather 300TE for over 4 years and 60k miles, without any upholstery/carpet problems.
It was a 7 seat school bus, a moving McDonalds, and it took us through France every year, sometimes twice a year.
I can't begin to tell you the indignities it suffered, but it always came up like new.
The most scary thing was finding half finished McDonalds meals pushed into every nook and cranny. Did you know they set rock hard, but never go mouldy?
Scary.
Colours -
I have a Tansanite car now, and love it - Violane looks very similar in some lights, but is very Purple/Violet in sunlight. I didn't like it, personally.
Take a look at Midnight Blue as an alternative - non-metallic, but almost indistinguishable from Tansanite.

Good hunting.

Thanks Guy. Does anyone know if its problematic to "raise" the suspensions on an Avantgarde!! ..as they don't take too kindly to unmade country lanes!!! and it might be the only option I'm left with.

Guy...did you say McDees food goes "solid"!!!! hahahah and to think we actually eat the stuff. Doesn't taste too bad when warm though!!! hahaha
