Looking at the 1st photo I would have assumed that this was a rendering!
Really cool that it isn't.

Lovely motor, great attention to detail sadly let down by using cheapo jubilee clips instead of mikalor stainless.

Lovely motor, great attention to detail sadly let down by using cheapo jubilee clips instead of mikalor stainless. Add the painted pipes, which look to be copper coloured and not copper. The welds are a bit of a giveaway. I like the look but it's not for me. I like the idea behind the original one. It was very ahead of its time with a spaceframe construction and Direct Fuel Injection, something that would not become mainstream for another 50 years! That and the engines, well to me just sound amazing! But then again, keeping an old SL on the road can't be a bad thing  . |

The e type always gets the headlines in the looks dept, but I’d have the Merc any day.

Me too, don't get the fuss over the E type, wheels too narrow, tucked in too far, fugly back end etc.
