Stirling Moss SLR
Discussion
That looks, to me, far too big for its wheels, almost stretch limo proportions.
This really looks like an incoherent mix-up of different types of car:
An open cockpit with a small, light, normally aspirated manual car? Yes, that's fun.
A big V8 with a torque converter auto? Yes, work well together for practical, easy oomph.
Mixing the two? No thanks.
It's not even a well-executed mix-up, Evo magazine recently recommended the contemporary Ford Focus 1.6 as a better driver's car than an SLR.

Not sure about a 1.6 Focus being a better drivers car but otherwise, I'd agree.This really looks like an incoherent mix-up of different types of car:

Fine if you want one for a collection, but I struggle to see it as remotely usable in the real world, even as a high days and holidays special run machine.

Does anyone 'in the know' reckon this bill for brakes on a SLR can be anywhere close to real which I saw online?
If so it's absolutely absurd.

£3 million?
Right!
Right!
Work out a finance plan that gets it down to £500 a month and we might be in business
you may need a little bit of salary sacrifice to top up the payments Right!

Stirling Moss, never F1 champion. Does anyone under 70 years old, actually care about him today?
Many people with an interest in racing, yes.The fact that Moss was never champion is neither here nor there. For the vast majority of his career, certainly after Fangio retired, Moss was not just the best; he was the best by a long way, and acknowledged as such by his peers.
