I saw a midnight blue droptop SLR, with tan leather roll past me in London yesterday. I remember them coming out and seeing it on TG and thinking it looks like a rocket ship. Seeing this one yesterday with THOSE wheels and the side exit exhausts, I may have fallen in love.

So when they initially came out they were slightly before my time on PH etc, so I was just wondering, when they came out what were they actually like, how good were they compared to their contemporaries etc. Does anyone have any experience of ownership of one etc etc.

Please share any thoughts you all have, because I still think it is one of the best looking cars I have ever seen in real life, especially with the turbine wheels, which in my eyes are up there with the dished Pagani wheels as some of the nicest of all time.

HA, I have never seen one before, this was on Marylebone High St, I stopped in the middle of the zebra crossings just gawping at it. I usually make a point of not looking at the people driving their 458's and Aventador's slowly down Brompton Rd etc as that is what they crave but this SLR had me I must admit.
