Beautiful day to clean out the garage!  My 1969 280SL and it’s new big brother 1989 560SL.

Nice pair of cars David! 

I think of my two as “Someting old and something not so old” :)

The cars look stunning, David. What's that shade of blue called btw? I'm so bad with colors.

Thanks,

The 280SL is painted 903H Blue but commonly referred to as “China Blue”.  It’s an interesting color, you can take 10 pictures and all 10 will look a different color.  I’ve never had another car that shows such wide swings.  It can go from baby blue to dark blue.  I believe Dieter has the same color and can attest to that.  I’ve included another photo.

Another photo to show the color.  Again, an interesting color. I get a lot of compliments on it.
