Stirling Moss 722 SLR

Drool!
Caught this at Pebble Beach the other day....
Only 75 will be built. Nothing like driving one of the worlds fastest cars sans windshield.

It looks like there may be little windscreens that pop up.

Saw it at Quail Lodge and sat in it too.

Did you drive the normal SLR Roadster they had? I found it to be a blast!

this thing handles better just by not having the A-pillar. I've sat in the SLR at dealership you literally cannot see what's to your right and left at 45 degree angle. :rofl:

I've seen one of those Spyker C8 in the back ground on the road before.

DROVE it? Uh....did I miss something?
I saw something about the Star Club on the 3rd green...
is that where that took place?

Oh the Spyker. It's not a car, it's a fashion accessory! You don't drive it, you wear it like a $100K watch, or an expensive handbag. They aren't the fastest car on the road, but god are they beautiful.
My GF was absolutely speechless as she gawked at the interior, and she's had some nice cars in her day, currently a ML350, and previously a ML55 AMG + Corvettes.

I have to wonder what ALL those switches are for though.
You have to laugh when you consider the pundits and so called Motoring press said the C230 Coupe's dash was confusing and cluttered.
Gawd, could it be ANY simpler especially without climatronic? (The way I like it )

Now you are talking my language. Was at PB when Aston Martin was marque of the Concours - '97 I think? The factory flew in their private collection of racers, specials & Zagato's - OMG - drool!!!

Still looking for a DB6 MkII Vantage or Vantage Volante to restore but the prices make my eyes water - unlike many, I love the Kamm tail & improved interior.

Have a friend who shall remain nameless who has this lying in his garage.




Mleskovar - those are the screens - fixed. Been all over our motoring journals.
