I remember the old top gear, when quentin raved aboutthe sl. As an adolescent, my abiding memory of the piece was the opening shot, taken between a womens legs.
Presumably by the time Mr Wilson joined TG it must have been the R129 version, or did they start off with a retrospective?I'm so pleased I have one of these old donkeys
I remember the times when I hadn't and recall always feeling totally gutted....such a pretty car
Now that I've found my perfect super low mileage example I don't think I'll ever sell it.
It's strange but it even gets compliments from people that don't have an interest in cars

These cars must be spotless and mint and in a darker shade. Your 2 cars are awesome Lee. Would have loved a 500 after my two 300. Mind you now that my car has brand new suspension and bushes and drives in a very balanced way.I remember the times when I hadn't and recall always feeling totally gutted....such a pretty car

They look lovely in Signal Red.
Here's a Euro conversion of a strangled 560SL for €90k. 4 km on the clock. Not 4k, 4!

I'd heard that the SL is known for having brittle plastic teeth on the little cog in the milometer, loss of which over time can cause the recording of miles to slow and then stop altogether? (thats what I was told when my milometer packed in one day). Any truth in this?
Interesting, I've never heard that before. But was at a meet on Sunday & a mate mentioned his friends 560 in South Africa has also packed up on the odometer & it's common apparently. Anyone recommend a source of the repair kit in the UK?Cheers
