Not for a left hand drive.

 

[DSK]

That is a genuine collectors item. Most likely to be purchased overseas.

 

[SL63 Mark]

You can buy similar looks and performance (6.2 litre R230 SL63) for £20k. Oh, and the SL has a folding roof which the SLR doesn't have.

I’ll have to check the spare room bed

Divert some of your ATF servicing funds...

Bargain. I'll keep that one on my villa overlooking Lake Garda, since it's left hand drive anyway

Only want one John? Need to be like Manny Khoshbin on YouTube - he's has 5 in his collection of stuff (along with several Bugattis).

If they sell it, they really ought to spend some money and sort out their drainage problem

Picture was taken just outside @00slk 's new garage where the 230 sits.....

This is the limited edition 722 model. Main differences are upgraded brakes and suspension, slightly tweaked engine performance, carbon fibre aero kit and alcantara/carbon interior.

They drive quite differently from the standard SLRs, giving much more feedback, especially at higher speeds.

I currently have one in my workshop for service at the moment.

I think this one is a touch overpriced for the current market. They were achiving this sort of money about 2 years ago in the supercar heyday and the 722s Roadsters were fetching £750k. I would say that 722s Roadsters are now about £600k and the 722 coupes about £500-525k.

Still fantastic cars regardless.

" Standard SLR" I like that! Anyway, I did see a 722s at the Museum in Stuttgart a couple of years ago, in the heritage sales section (next to the restaurant), " Price on application" (Politely "if you have to ask you can't afford it")

The 230 is underwater and my SLR sits on top of it...........Non dropping roof on the SLR means no leaks....

You would think for a car advertised at £600k they would write a more detailed ad

People that buy these cars already know what there is to know about them.

What they really want to know is details about ownership and SH which you will get when you make contact.

Interesting that AT reckons that the average mileage on this would be 14,000. On a 13-year-old car. I suppose I shouldn't actually be surprised as our GT3 only had 11,000 miles on it at 9 years old when we bought it.

 

[John Laidlaw]

Most people who buy these will be doing so as an investment and/or part of a rich collection, hence the low miles and low anticipated miles. Not great for daily use/carting firewood

If I had that I would use it for X continental trips, can you get a roof rack for my skis (A la 007 Lotus)??
