Lets kick it off right

Thanks for the new forum...so why not kick it off right with pics of one of the top condition 107's around.
Go to www.f40.com for photos of !987 560SL - 17,500 mi.
100% original except for a new MB battery in 2001.

Thanks for the nice comments Dave.
The photos don't do the look of the car justice. I've had people think the car was brand new off the showroom the way the paint looks.
I spent days with Zymol's engine wash by hand and Q tips dissolving the original cosmoline off the engine bay walls and under the door jams.
There's a photo of the engine showing a hand polished air cleaner and engine bay but it got misplaced on that web-site. It's under the photos for the Ferrari Mondial. I keep telling them to fix the errror.
I've got my SL55 coming in by the end of the month and it's a tough decision letting it go. Like the dealer said to me this car is money in the bank in this condition.
