R231 SL350 24 hour test drive

[BIRMA]

Lovely colour combination suits the car as you say it will probably be unique as not many people would splash out the extra cost.
Reminds me of the Illusion Blue on my Honda Rune it goes from blue to purple depending on the angle of the sun.

Wow, DMB on the SL looks stunning, congratulations Red!

Lovely colour and as you say worth the extra few quid. Should look great in the flesh.

Update, scheduled to arrive at the dealer on 17th December so it should be with us before Christmas.

 

[Peter DLM]

Yay, how exciting.:bannana:

I'm quite missing my SL now.

 

[Red C220]

This is our Christmas present, so we're chuffed it's arriving in December. We had visions of it being January/February.

 

[C240Sport97]

looking forward to seeing it

 

[Red C220]

Dealer called today to say our car arrived this afternoon. It was slightly delayed which didn't matter as the number plate certificate didn't arrive until this mornings post, so it looks like it was meant to be.

If everything goes smoothly it looks like we're collecting on Christmas Eve, Happy Christmas Me.

I can't wait to see the pics!

very rare R231 SL

 

[Charles Morgan]

Pics before Christmas please!

 

[Red C220]

I'm collecting on Christmas Eve at 10:30am.

I'll take a camera so I get some pics whilst it's still clean and load them up at some point tomorrow.

 

[Red C220]

Well here it is.

The collection area was a bit tight for space and it was chucking it down outside so I wasn't able to get a decent shot of the front as I didn't fancy standing in the monsoon to get it.

We've had a little drive and it's just fantastic and already filthy due to the weather. The colour is awesome and worth every penny, it really makes the car and so far everyone that's seen it comments on the paint before anything else.

It's difficult to catch the depth of this colour in photographs.

When the weather is better and the car has a good clean I'll take some better pictures.

And finally a little gift from Mercedes Gatwick, which we found comical.

That looks really lovely - congratulations!

 

[reflexboy]

Just gorgeous. Congratulations and enjoy. Merry Christmas

 

[Charles Morgan]

Very nice!

The picnic basket does look a bit carp though...

 

[StuartK]

I saw that plate the other day I'm sure?

Car looks lovely!

 

[HB]
