According to the article, it's either a "sport car" or a "sport scar". Good ol' Daily Maily out-Grauniading The Grauniad again...

It's actually an SLR Stirling Moss, one of 75 built between June and December 2009 after production of the SLR cabrio finished.

I wonder if it has the same indicator stalk as a W208? The regular SLR does!

Well, they need to indicate left or right lust like a W208, and drive on the same roads...........

I'm sure that the W208 indicator stalk is the result of careful design and has gone through intense testing. Would you prefer that they fit a switch from the local Radio Shack, just to be different?

^No, for the money an SLR costs I don't expect them to dip into the parts bin!

It is a funny looking thing.

It doesn't really make you look brainy.

He still looks deeply unhappy - wondering if it is because he can barely see above the steering wheel......

*I may be slightly jealous!

All that money and no flippin' windscreen

According to the EPC the indicator stalk on the SLRs is NOT from the 208.

Doesn't look special though does it?? In fact, my W208 stalk looks better!

What's more, his driver refused to drive it on account of its value and being worried about having an accident. All that money, and nothing to chauffeur it.

That car, according to This ad for one is illegal for road use in the USA.

The French probably legalised it just to annoy the Americans.....

I think I would be able to put up with the burden of a 208 stalk if I had the chance to have one of those...
