Congrats! Sweet machine!

 

[Bartek S.]

I knew it was a convertible. Congratulations, great car.

 

[Monster]

Congrats mate, these pre-facelift SLs are the ones to keep, and those rims are fantastic and not that common.

 

[GBOY]

Thanks Guys!

After dropping it off for scratch and dent fixes since Monday, I can't wait to pick it up this afternoon.

The car looks fantastic GBOY...If I were you I would take this down 214, 301, or 202 when the cops are not looking. Do about 120mph LOL.

 

[ateekt]

Beautiful machine it is & nice color too! I'd suggest you get rid of Maybach-ish rims! Enjoy & be safe!

I'm sure you mean when the cops are NOT looking right?

Best spots I've noticed are b/n New Hampshire and Route 1 exits and b/n 450 and 202 exits off the beltway ... no cops!

Thanx Ateek, I'm sure you mean SLR-ish rims?

Yea everyone speeds over their by Colesville between New Hampshire and Route 1.

If you really want an extraordinary ride, I would highly suggest western Maryland up by Frostburg MD around 68. I've seen an W140 S-class do 135mph around this mountain and it was breathtaking....

No my mate! Actually, those rims belongs to the Excelero... a Maybach that never went into production!

 

[Mr Robert]

Good choise, one of the great convertibles.

Someone needs to update his signature

 

[HighestOfHigh]

Those are some extraordinary wheels. I think GBOY should keep the ones he has on the SL. Looks good to me.


BTW...GBOY was right..Those rims were on the SLR as well -

 

[GBOY]

I will keep those rims for a good while ... MB obviously thinks highly of them; and the rear tires are HUGE [WIDE] ... 285 ... Damn!

Oh, and about lowering it, it has airmatic so it goes up and down as needed.

Excelero had those rims before Slr! Imo, the Amg rims suites the Sl better! However, it's his car & his choice!

Nope, If I remember correctly the SLR concept was out way before the Maybach Excelero.

Mercedes-Benz Vision SLR - 1999
Maybach Exelero Concept - 2005

Congrats GBOY, brilliant choice.

I've never seen the Sl-R concept with those rims! Excelero is the 1st car I saw with them! Sl-R sure is older!

 

[HighestOfHigh]

I've never seen the Sl-R concept with those rims!

Yep, they used two different kinds of rims on the SLR concept so you might have missed it. I remember that concept like it was yesterday. So sorry to see the production car go....

 

[Shining Star]

IMO, the SLR was a failure for MB. Hope they can do the SLS right.
