Funnily enough neither am I, but they were refurbished a year or so before I bought the car and had almost new tyres when I bought it so I'll live with them for now!The SL55 looks superb, I’ve got be honest though not a fan of the turbine alloys!
Blimey, that was quick.
They do look good don't they. The problem I have is that I'm not very good at keeping cars clean let alone making them look better. It's a weird thing for me. The SL is mostly a fantastic car, but if I'm being honest, I'm far more attached to the old SLK230. No idea why really, other than I spent a lot of time putting things right on it as it's was a pile of junk when my wife talked me in to buying it. The SL I just get in and drive it. I check the oil and try not to lose my license, or get caught, but I just drive it. It will come off the road during the winter and get general maintenance and then we'll see how I feel about it.Ah I see, you might be able to get a decent amount of money for them on eBay!
These SLs look great with split rims! The only downside is they are quite expensive. Worth it IMO though!
Certainly did. It was a no cost option back in the day, and people liked it! As you can see, it also suffered from the "Stuck in Km's" fault before I fixed it!

It was a really crappy design so yes it happened a few times to me. Not with this car, but the previous Monza GSE I owned I built a one off 24v 3.0L engine for it so it would use a modified LE Jetronic fuel management and standard ancillaries, but I also converted the car from auto to manual. It spent quite a lot of time going sideways after that as they have quite tight LSD's as well!Did yours piss fuel all over the road like mine did due to shabby hoses that GM used back then?
I loved it by the way
Well there's been a bit of water under the bridge since I last posted here. I've moved house and my son has been using the SLK230 for the last year or so. I got it back last week, so as all the Mercs were filthy we had a car washing afternoon. Now it's clean I need to fix all the broken bits my son has added during his possession. Apparently he's been quite busy on that front. In the mean time, I've got a clean photo of the three cars together.
