Nice looking car that must be an animal as they are not really big cars and shaped like a missile


Nice.

Thanks for the comments. when i get my act together i shall post some more piccies.

Not yet made it to any GTG's yet but you never know. i may just turn up.

as far as how quick........according to car&driver in the US. it does 0-60 in 4.3. acccording to mercedes it does 0-62.5 in 4.9. seems it can do 0-111 in12.7 too. not that i ever would

its only done 1200miles so i havent really booted it fully yet. big sticker on windscreen gets in the way, telling you to be nice to it.

best bit is, it did 152miles at an average of 60MPH and managed 31.5mpg. quite impressive for a 5439cc V8. (It did 34.9 for 49mins at 57mph)

its a 55 and its a 55reg too. cost 11 less then £55k as it turns out. pity 8 is my lucky number.
