Right-hand-drive SL55's are meant to start production 1st decade (1st 10 days) June. I have a confirmed build slot (with production number) for 2nd decade june. Normally I guess 4-6 weeks to arrive in UK - however, mine has designo options on it, so can be delayed by upto 8 weeks.

I'll let you all know if there is any delays that they tell you about ...

The dealer supplying my SL knows *nothing* about the SL600, so I doubt there is an October introduction for r-h-d cars - I would imagine they launch l-h-d first. They also knew of no effects of any strike ... and they are normally pretty up-to-date

Oh, also, in a previous post a couple of months back I had mentioned that another dealer's WIS system showed a "SL350, baumaster 230465" - which if you take the info from todays EPC system seems to suggest that the SL350 got replaced by the SL370 before it got launched ...
