They do not come along that often!

Someone please buy it so I do not have to keep seeing the advert

We don't want another leaving the UK!!

Steel brakes. Nearly 13000 miles and asking £10,000 too much!

sambamans at a guess

Nice car - A little top heavy on price. I dont personally like the shields. Makes it look cheap (which it is not).

Sambaman's car

I seem to have become a parrot!

when did SL's come with Steel Brakes?

know the car, and it is immaculate, as clean underneath as on top.

absolutely stunning example

Yes it is Sambamans (and ex shoebags).

I had a chance at this car last year.

It is stunning.

Hard to tell if price is top heavy when its the only one on the market. Was offered a grey SL a few weeks ago and that seller wanted £118k!

Presumeably being taken in P/X for the Carrera GT?

My old one had steel brakes, Eric Clapton first owner specced them as he found ceramics too 'grabby'

Ceramics were a £10k option

What a mistake! Having driven both and lucky to have ceramics on mine, would not like to go back to the Squeaking steel variants.....

Given it's rarity and the RSC front bumper seems a fair price to me given some room for negotiation.

Matt you know you want it. Get back on the dark side - you know it makes sense!!!

Not for me.

Priced too close to LP560 money which is a big step forward. If I were to come back to Lambo at any time it would be in LP560 / LP570 territory

I agree the Gallardo to 560-4 is a massive leap but the rarity of the "old" Superleggera makes it interesting. The 570-4 looks a great proposition but almost twice the price is a big leap.

Apparently when i spoke to other owners whilst i owned the car...they all said the steel brakes are much better than the ''grabby'' ceramics...i can vouch for the steels no problem whatsoever, the car braked perfect every single time !....This car really is faultless.....

[famoussas]

I'm certainly keeping an eye on it. Don't come up very often.

certainly not grabby at all. having driven both there is no comparision. until you've driven a G with ceramics you have no idea how quickly a car can stop and repeatedly so with little or no fade.

only gripe I would say is they don't work at all until marginally warmed up.
1st time brake coming off my drive onto the road I have to remember to leave myself a good few extra yards breaking distance! lol

ps. so how come you've got rid of it? Seems to be some common denominator here with RSC front bumpers doesn't there?
Matt, 1st to get bumper then sells. Dave (V10 BAT) second to get it done then sells. You then the 3rd who get it's done and sells. That only leaves Caelum Blue left!

Nice car...good luck with the sale !

I too have driven both steel and ceramic and it comes down to personal preference and what you intend using the car for. Based on my experience with the ceramic brakes on my SL, ceramnics are grabby when cold and the top of the pedal is a bit 'wooden' so arent very town driving friendly. Unless on the track I would be surprised if you notice the braking performance difference between the two either. You also have to consider replacement costs - ceramic rotors will be quite expensive to replace once they are worn.
