...... except generally anything French and Vauxhall
My second car in about 1985 was a 1978 Opel Manta. That wasn't too bad if you ignore the worn camshaft two months after I bought it.
Same thing now
Never had a problem with my Senators & Omega

Agree with you there Richard re Lexus, I've always quite liked them, there is an LS600h for sale locally to me and I'm quite tempted to take a look, they seem very good cars that take on Mercedes at their own game.Lexus LS400 Mark IV
S Class, Japanese interpretation
Sorry meant my E63!They are very good it's where I bought my SL500, they have a 63 and a 500 there now.
Did you buy the black one? If so that was the car that started me off looking for an SL...?

Test drove a Tesla S it put me off being a £100k car with a £15k feel interior, very thin plasticky feel to it, very American worse interior than a Mustang, closer to a Chevrolet hatch back.Unlikely my next car will be a Merc, so not so off topic really for me.
If I wanted another convertible, then the choice is limited as I would need a 4 seater with a decent amount of rear leg room. So probably and Audi for that. If I go back to something with character (what I really miss with buying a Merc) then it would an Alfa Romeo again. If I wanted to stretch the budget a bit further for a saloon then a Tesla S would probably be the choice.
What was the year/spec of your SL500?Sorry meant my E63!
They took my SL500 in p/ex for a good price and sold it on I think quite quickly
You wouldn't be able to choose a DB11, it's an MB collaboration, engine, switchgear etcDepends on budget....
Blue sky no limits...
Aston DB5/6 or 11
Bentley
Jaguar Mk2 Coombes......Or maybe a Beacham
Honda NSX
Jenson Interceptor
Tesla
Real world budget.........
Maybe another Subaru Legacy GTB
Lexus
Honda
Jaguar
Golf R32
It was an older R230 Facelift ‘58 plate (2009 Model), Palladium Silver/Red Leather interior..What was the year/spec of your SL500?
