Rubellite red

[Peter S]

I had a rubellite red E class delivered earlier in the week...not a colour I’d ever seen in the metal, but it looked good on the configurator and thought it’d make a change! So, I was surprised to see one the same colour parked next to me yesterday . Mines the one parked facing forwards, and has what’s called a red roof and saddle brown leather. MB say that is a ‘not recommended’ colour combination. Looks okay I think?

That red was a colour I looked at for my new one but they stopped offering it on mine just before I ordered. I ended up going for Anthracite Blue. I really like the red though.

I also went for the saddle brown upholstery as I didn't want black and the lighter colours don't stay clean very long with me.

I think yours looks fine and seems to match up OK, though a few interior/roof down shots would help.

I’m ashamed to confess I haven’t had the roof down yet - it’s been a pretty miserable week. Hopefully this weekend!

Nice

I also went for the silk matt grey ash wood trim after a zillion mock-ups with different combinations. It seems to work well with the saddle brown.

There was no choice in the cabriolet from memory - it only comes in AMG line trim. We were in Tel Aviv last week, and the taxi was an e class with rather nice truffle brown coloured leather. Not an option I’ve seen on the UK configurator

Saw one exactly like yours at MB Ellesmere recently. Pictures don't do it justice- lovely car!

Beautiful colour, will look stunning on your new car.

It’s a colour than changes so much depending on light/weather conditions. Today, in the rain and general gloom, it looks brown! In fact, our MINI, which is ‘melting silver’ looks gold, so it’s a bit like 1983 all over again on our drive
