A Merc SL350 'Night edition', which basically means its matt black. For a £70k car its a massive anti-climax. All for show really, not that fast, and you look like a nob driving it. Subsequently, people treat you with little or no respect on the road. The flappy paddle gears are fun though. Love my job

Wouldn't say not to one it if was offered, but wouldn't even think about looking at anything less than the 500.

It's disappointing because it's a 350 not a 600
Looks lovely though
I saw a 51 plate old gen (square one) SL even had xenons, looked lovely

Exactly. As said Paul we are doing all the Merc SL's, the 300 has just arrived in red. Stunning car.
