Special Order Lapis Blue 1999 Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG in Gooding Amelia Island Sale
During the era Mercedes-Benz was producing its first-generation W202 C-Class, special paint colors were less common than the more apparent MANUFAKTUR presence today. Bold colors like the Lapis Blue shade shown here were even less common, except perhaps in Europe where home market offerings were a bit more fanciful.
Todd Blue LAPIS Collection Cars Set to Make Blue Splash at RM Miami
Noted Texas-based car dealer and prolific classic car collector of the blue variety, Todd Blue will be parting ways with some seriously unique German automobiles from his LAPIS Collection. Perhaps not surprisingly, they are each in the same color as his name, and they're a fixture in the upcoming RM Sotheby's Miami Sale held during the Moda Miami weekend February 27-28.
U.S. Debut for Mercedes-AMG SL 63 MANUFAKTUR Golden Coast

EU Market Find: Great Spec Manual Mercedes C124 E 300 Coupe
Log this car in as under the tasteful and rare factory specifications column, and maybe something you only would find in a market like Italy. Yes, it appears to be an order guide specification, but its combination an exercise in extravagance more akin to a passionate Italian than a logical German.
Individuality with Designo: Mercedes-Benz Classic Reflects on Tailored History at Stuttgart Museum
“Close-up” – the name of this series from the Mercedes-Benz Museum says it all. Each instalment tells a surprising, exciting or behind-the-scenes story, illuminating details of a vehicle, an exhibit or an architectural or design feature. In the spotlight this time: the Mercedes-Benz C 280 from 1996 in Collection Room 5: Gallery of Everyday Heroes.
Color Focus: Mercedes-AMG Green Hell Magno – 376
If Green Hell Magno looks right at home on the AMG GT R from Mercedes-AMG, that's because it was created to celebrate the car. You see, the AMG GTR spent most of its development time on the legendary Nürburgring Nordschliefe circuit (a.k.a. the "Green Hell").
EU Market Find: 1992 Mercedes 190 E Avantgarde azzurro
One of several cars built in Mercedes-Benz Avantgarde series of W201 190 Es, the 190 E Avantgarde Azzurro is a unique thing indeed. With DTM-harkening 190 EVOs making anything W201 even more interesting, the azzurro and all its 90s German kitsch offer a more unique approach to the package.
EU Market Find: Parisian 1992 Mercedes 300 3.4 AMG in Crystal Green
Likely due to rarity, it's not uncommon to see a W124-generation Mercedes-Benz 300 CE coupe built by AMG crossing the six figure mark. Transaction prices approaching six figures (actually passing them by the time you convert to U.S. dollars and import) aren't something we typically see of 1990s era cars from Mercedes-Benz. However, make them a well preserved AMG and it's a whole new ballgame.
EU Market Find: Cypress Green Mercedes 280 CE Coupe with Period Lorinser and Zender Upgrades
Nowadays, the W123-generation Mercedes Benz 280 CE is a pretty rare thing. Built in a day when nomenclature and badging actually stood for something, the 280 CE is an E-class Coupe (a.k.a. "CE") with a 2.8-liter V6 (i.e. 280).
Market Find: 2020 Mercedes-AMG E 63 S in Porsche Graphite Blue Metallic
Cars like this S213 E 63 Estate are next level on the if-you-know-you-know factor. Some will scratch their heads over the idea of spending money on a custom order (a.k.a. “PA1” inside Mercedes) and then choose a subtle color like a grey tone. We see that as the signature of a connoisseur though, not needing to be noticed by everyone. It goes further though.
