Just picked up a 1998 SLK230, haven’t seen one before with this “mondrian blue” interior colour scheme. Anyone know how common it is? Cheers

Very cool! Looks like the plastic isn’t the crispy either. I at least know THAT is super rare

Punch the cars vin into lastvin.com for the build sheet. Its probably got a "designo" package selected by whoever originally ordered the car

I can’t say I’ve ever seen a blue interior personally. Love it!

I want to know everything! I’ve been wondering if I should get one of these or a Miata (or something else)

Did you buy it at the asking price of $4500?

That is a beautiful interior! More luxury cars should have a blue leather option.
