Well I just heard that they are £148K plus extra's and likely (yes, only likely) that there will be a minimum of 1 per dealership for the UK and that is 22 according to my source. I am thinking that some people are just guessing in the dealerships...

So here is the dilemma. I adore my DBS and have never really been into rag tops having owned a few SLK's (I hardly ever put the roof down). If I were to spend £150k (and Mrs T may have to give it her blessing) would I buy this or spend the extra £50k on an addition. Something like a mint F355 F1 Coupe. Perhaps I should just build a garage

There's your problem - you need a car that it's not embarrassing to be seen in with the roof down wink

Although I do love the SLK55

Yeah. I wouldn't want to be seen in one of them either. Try double bagging.

Yup, a quick call to my Dealer has confirmed my suspicions too - cocaine has doubled in price overnight frown

So, Mikey. how did you spec out your new car? Will it be similar to your "S" but with lightweight seats?

Dunno why you're bothering anyway matey - if I had an S Roadster I would take it to BR and get them to work their magic on it.

It would be at least as balanced as a V12V, probably lighter and certainly more powerful at 550 bhp - at a fraction of the cost.

Just my 2p worth biggrin

When I picked my car up from the spa this afternoon we spoke about the V12 roadster. Apparently their allotted one has already been sold (or at least allocated).
