Hopefully it's going cos he's bored with it rather than having to get rid of it due to work problems/covid etc

 

[kcsun]

wonder if there is a big problem with the car?
hopefully he will be along soon to enlighten us all.

If there was a big problem, I doubt he'd come onto an open forum and say so considering he's trying to sell it.........

Hey sorry everyone for the delay, sale of the car is due to a baby on the way, absolutely gutted about having to sell it. The car is absolutely mint and drives beautifully. I'll be starting the search for a 4 door with a nice big engine maybe a S63. Thanks everyone

Congratulations. Enjoy family life, there’s plenty of time for 2-seat sports cars later

I am going the other way.....current 4 door with a nice big engine (BMW M6 Gran Coupe), and (from Friday) a lovely 2015 SL63.....the kids can walk! Four doors can be fun, but fancy the sky above......counting down the hours!

Went for a little drive last night, just to pick up some fish and chips but I have to say these SL's are just amazing motors, although it was fairly damp so the rear end wasn't very happy.

Picked up today - needs a couple of small things completing by the garage, but loving it. Managed an hour and a half with my daughter with the roof down this afternoon getting back when it was almost dark - lovely and warm with the airscarf and windbreak. A lot louder than the M6, feels lighter in terms of turn in (which i was not expecting), and a slightly more compliant ride (although it is still very boomy on the concrete sections of the M25). Overall fabulous.

And a few photos.....

Having some problems shrinking the files, but hopefully this works (newbie fail)!

Looks great - congratulations! I also found it booming on the M25 - at first I thought something was wrong, but this is how it is. I took a little while to get used to it coming from an SL55 as the ride in the 55 is much softer. Now I think its fantastic. I was amazed at the grip levels and the agility for such a GT and heavy car. I agree 100pc - its great to have all the creature comforts with the roof down...overall I am delighted with mine, as I am sure you will be...

those are my favourite R231 wheels

lovely to see the porcelain interior

Thank you for comments - I am loving it so far. Colours are very personal, but I have always loved cream leather - probably the priority for me.
It is certainly no worse on the M25 concrete than M6, but no better. I would rate it ahead on comfort, cabin luxury, (and noise) and behind on tech, but overall more of an event, more special, than the BMW. Looking forward to more miles....
