At the end of this 'White on White' SL550 video she very nearly runs over her cat while speeding up the driveway....

You're right Wolf....Sheltering in place is becoming tougher, so perhaps the boredom is starting to show...
However....There's not a whole lot of posting going on here at the present time, so hopefully enjoying a few laughs and adding more 231 images isn't considered 'a bad thing'....
I hope I'm not the only one here who could use a laugh once in awhile to help temper all the bad news we must endure!...

The forum has become too quiet. I can only hope that everyone is taken their SL’s to experience social distancing in beautiful spring weather top down
Nothing better than to take the car on a nice winding road without a particular schedule or destination.
We did this often in Switzerland; pack a picnic basket and stop somewhere in the mountains and enjoy the view with some cheeses, fruits and a glass of wine.

This 2015 SL550 'White Arrow Edition' has a unique 2-tone Designo Nappa Interior that's clearly 'all its own'...
Although I'm not a fan of the White Arrow's unique, (darker colored), wheels, those could always be changed. I'm sure there are people who do like those 7-Twin Spoke Wheels. As far as I know, the 7-Twin Spoke wheels were a White Arrow Edition 'exclusive', (i.e. only available with the White Arrow Edition)...

I don't happen to be a fan of the White Arrow's unique, (but darker colored), wheels, but of course, those could be changed, and I'm sure there are some people would actually love these 7-Twin Spoke Wheels. As far as I know, those wheels were an 'exclusive', (i.e. only available with the White Arrow Edition)...

As far as the 400 total production claim, I take it with a grain of salt as many dealers in FL eventually had 3 or 4 each (originally was supposed to be a max 2 for some dealers with some others country wide getting none; it is possible that many units were later shipped from Northern climates to FL after the initial November 2014 introduction).
The wheels were originally exclusive to this R231 2015 edition, however from 2016-2018 they were part of W218 CLS550/400 Nigh Package Plus.
