Diamond White unavailable again

...until 2013, according to dealer who advised today re SLK new build my wife ordered in that colour last weekend (1st Sept). I'm not sure if this applies to all production.

Looks like the teenagers will have to drink Kestrel Super in the park until it returns!

Interesing development- MB UK Customer Services are unaware of any issue with availability. I've advised the dealer of this and am awaiting their explanation. I'll withold their identify assuming there's a satisfactory explanation.

Perhaps MB are saving up to buy a new can of paint

OK, issue resolved, DW is available and my dealer has apologised for their misunderstanding. I'm impressed at how easy it was to get MB UK mobilised to resolve it-the cancellation of an order being at stake is incentive, but not all big organisations manage to react sensibly when it's in their best interests.
