    It's certainly different. Ivor suggested the white finish may be a special order item rather than the usual limited edition. How useful it would be outside a display cabinet depends entirely on how resistant the finish is to grubby, sweaty hands of course.

    Agreed. It would look like a Wintel box then. Thankfully the Germans have far too much sense to fall into that aesthetic crime.

    More pics

    I assume the matching white gloves are an optional extra, available through the dealer for an additional E450?

    You weren't thinking of touching it were you?
    Along with the Hermes models I expect that they are for display cabinets only. It would be lovely though to wander around Henley or Ascot with one wouldn't it?
