peterchurch said:That car is WAY overpriced I think there is an SL500 Silver arrow going for that sort of cash at Cribbs in Bristol let me think 97 SL or 2001 fairwell SL same price...
Anders said:You can't really compare an SL60 with an SL500, and everything being equal the SL60 is in a different league to an SL500. However, probably overpriced though...
Will said:The fact that the SL60 is as expensive as a newer SL500 says it all to me - it's probably more desirable, certainly a different car though.

peterchurch said:Thats the point It shouldn't be last summer there was a P reg SL60 doing the rounds for about 18K and I spotted one on autotrader a few months ago for 19K So 28K on an R reg (when the dealer won't proclaim the milage or service history) is deluded at best
nickg said:SL60 - 381 bhp @ 5500 rpm, 427lb/ft @ 3750 rpm
SL500 - 302bhp, 339 lb/ft torque
SL60 is roughly a 25% increase in power and torque over the SL500.
Maff said:I thought they were 4 valve V8's and V12's back then?
I also thought that the S600, CL600 and SL600 of the early 90's produced ~400bhp stock?
Anders said:They were all 4 valves.
The V12 600 was originally with 408 bhp and later 394 bhp, but the V8 60 should be lighter and marginally more torquey.
SL60 is a glorious machine!
Maff said:Ahh, I thought the SL60 was a V12, thats where I went wrong!
(PS. I clicked edit instead of Quote, sorry Anders!! )

O wasn't it an SL73, because there's 1 on Merc World Racing?
