1995 SL60 opposite my carpark spot

[mb240]

Arriving back to my underground parking spot in Galway, I see an SL with old style AMG rims, with about 2 inches deep on the rears.

It says SL60 on the back, and looks the business. I've never seen one before and from what I understand they are exceedingly rare - only 180 produced in RHD form and around 800 in LHD.

I checked the reg out and it reads as 5461cc. It's a 1995 model.

Lovely car, I wonder is the owner on here? I'd take pictures except my digital camera broke last week! Bad timing!

What colour was it ?

The displacement for an SL60 was 5956cc - though DVLA records aren't always correct.

My Merc Specialist had an SL60 on the books for a few years. It looked really sweet, with the 18" deep dish rear rims, in silver with black leather

Funnily enough I was thinking of going to Galway fo the Oyster festival....

It's navy. The deep rims are really making me think about putting on some similar ones on my own car.

Anyway, shame I couldn't get a pic up. It's a Galway registered car as well, and not an import, so someone around here was an enthusiast quite a while ago

IanAlexander2: the Oyster festival was on a few weeks ago. Now it's students-are-back-and-the-streets-are-covered-in-half-eaten-kebabs-festival
