SL 65 option....

I know where there is an option on an SL65 for early 2004. UK spec RHD.

Anybody interested?

And this weeks Autocar reports the SLR may well have either 626 bhp or 626 ps - either way its still 617 bhp mimimum - well up on the orginal 558 bhp spec.

If its true its as refined as it is powerful this might after all be a great car!

Thumbs up SL65 option

I might be very interested. I love my SL500 but my C32AMG is just so much quicker. In fact, there is not much in it when I drag against a chum's SL55. So the SL65 must be the way to go. What is the deal?
