I have a real problem with the position of the ignition key, at my most comfortable driving position, I keep catching my knee on it!

I had a CLK 320 for many years and swapped it for an R231 SL350 5 years ago. The SL is way way better in every respect. More powerful, much better handling, more comfortable, more up to date electronics in every way and more economical.
Currently on vacation in Provence and in 1200 since home have averaged 36mpg.
BTW I’m 79 also, Go for it!!

HI CG, thanks for that. I'm loving every minute of it and can't believe the economy with more power too!

Hi All, I've been enjoying the good weather recently and put a few miles on it. Can't stop grinning and feeling 20 yrs younger LOL!!
Car in for NOX sensor tomorrow.

I have to say it looks stunning, one of the nicest configurations I've ever seen and the R231 maybe one of the best grand tourers ever made. Looks very well looked after also.
Interesting spec on the options as well, no electric wind deflector or air scarf but it has that beautiful centre clock. Seems the original owner specced it for summer driving, wind in your hair experience and who can blame them. Enjoy it!

Hi TF, I was disappointed about the wind deflector, but the trim makes up for it

Had the nox sensors by passed today, hopefully never to bother me again.........Lanoguard next.
