Well, after my abortive attempts to buy an SLK, I still fancied a convertible for the summer. Cheap and cheerful was the order of the day, but nothing has ticked all the boxes until I spied this little beauty on Saturday..
OK, the steering wheel is on the wrong side but that's non-negotiable as they were never made in RHD.. and the passenger side window doesn't work. Meh. I can fix that..
It wasn't a lot of money, it has a proper snorty Italian exhaust note, it's not the quickest thing on the planet but it's nippy and handles like it's on rails. I've got a silly grin on my face and a sunburnt head from driving around the New Forest yesterday with the lid off.
Cheers,
Gaz
