Anybody know the history of this car? In my never ending contemplation I'm considering a 360CS or an SL again. Eventually drove a Murcielago, its far too big for the roads I use and the money Id have to spend on a later one I'd fear I could lose quite quickly in depreciation. The limited mileage I do as well, makes far more sense to invest in something that could well appreciate.

Don't know the car but DL are good dealer so should be sound. Looks a little expensive for an old style SL. Plus black is not best colour for SL in my opinion.

Yes I've bought cars from Dick Lovett in Bristol they were an absolute pleasure to deal with. Its a bit hard to guage prices on the SL because so few come to market. Thats my fear as well, with the 570-4 Superleggera, it is indeed 'the old car' which could make it a less sound investment compared to the CS

Dont know the car but it looks stunning.

Regarding the price, Lambo Manchester have a Grigio SL for sale, similar miles, 2k more but it is an 09 car. IMO the reason why the SL's have increased is because a fair few have been exported.

both cars have come down 4k in price in the last few weeks... black one is on sor.... grey one is owned by lmc... orange one can be yours for about 110 if you are happy with scissor doors and walk in with a deposit...
there is a recent sl thread here where sl prices etc are discussed.....hope that helps...

I don't know the car but they also have a CS if that makes them worth visiting for back to back test drives?!

That was the thread i was trying to refer too, thanks for posting. Unfortunately i am not in a position to buy, i have seen that orange SL with scissor doors and tacky wheels, yuk IMO, why do that to a SL.
