Hi All,

Whilst browsing the web i found this page which has some quirky “facts?” pertaining to the SL.

http://www.kenrockwell.com/sl/index.htm

I personally like that the grill is supposedly made from leftover euro fighter engine blades, I personally don’t care whether it’s true or not. Why spoil a good story with the facts.. :lol:

MB make a lot of parts for aero and space using titanium, the scrap left over went on the cars, CL and SL blades are titanium, mine are bare and need very little care.
