    Why we love it:

    It’s hard to explain exactly why, but beige in some instances is incredibly good. Long a metaphor for boring, beige and it’s variants are having an absolute moment, whether it’s Audi’s Siam Beige and Mocha Latte, or the Mercedes-Benz Manufaktur Sand Beige seen here. It’s a clear play to the G-wagen’s military and industrial heritage, both of which propelled sales for a few decades before the G became a shuttle for wealthy American urbanites. Perhaps Sand Beige is most fitting on this particular 4×4 squared variant, the most rough and ready of the Geländewagen lineup.

    Why we love it:

    The chance for a do-over is oftentimes appealing, whether it be something in your personal or professional live. But the opportunity is one that simply doesn’t exist in most situations, so for those select few, if you get the shot you best take it. McLaren Special Operations offered those with a car and cash the chance to do just that in 2022, inviting SLR McLaren Benzes back to Woking for some additional love. The list of goodies is longer than we care to dive into (full review here), and about 30 clients took them up on the offer. This particular Tailored Driver was the recipient of a host of upgrades including body, suspension, cooling and more, but the big winner for us is the fully tailored MSO interior. The combination of Blue with Houndstooth is a clear homage to the 300SL, and looks right at home here.
