Even if all of them are in red there's only 500 on earth, the chances of seeing one in person are incredibly low. There is no way you could be tired of the 250 in red because you've never seen one to begin with. Red is a beautiful color and it can't be played out on a car in which only 500 exist, period.
Just because it seats 4 doesn't mean it's an aristocratic relic either. It's a sports car.
I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Sports Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Mercedes vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and EFi injectors clean as new!
The story goes that the Italian Police (Polizia) ordered 40 of these carnographic beauties to be built, but only two were made. The first one was ruined on first day of active duty, but the second was quickly requisitioned by a commissioner for personal use. You'll need £80k to get one of these 'true' Ferarris! That's how much the unsuccessful, but classically-penned BMW Z8 costed brand new.
Never mind Limp Bizkit...The real music comes from under the hood and out the exhaust pipes. That's music...

Why do people insist on ruining these machines by painting them red?? A classic 2+2 should never be red.

@elfchimp
yea no kidding guy,
Ive been a nut on these cars for yrs and most of then I see are silly red, im tired of it,
250 SWB's and GTE's would be better in a BRG green, or a nice royal blue,
Or even a maroon, or wine red
not the boring rosso corsa,

Wow, a 250! I've never seen one, and I'm not sure if I ever will. Great find, and a cool setting.
