My 63 has been in the shop over 8 times for serious issues since I bought it in January. It still doesn't shift properly. My 55 was only in for service A and B.

Please can you tell me what the signs are for problems so I can keep a
eye out for them. Over what period were these faults, mine has been ok
so far, 2500 miles 5 months.

Sunir , if only you meant it!!

Just polished mine with a new wax called concept, feels like glass.
I would like to try Swiss wax but I don't think you can get it in the U.K.SL 55 or 63-sla-002a.jpg

This is all too funny, but in the end both are great cars, with their own bright spots as well as draw backs. I say we end it at that.

Ferrari California = beefed up Toyota Celica look alike with Lexus IS-F exhaust tail pipes.

SL65 is frightening just by seeing the "V12 Bi Turbo" Badges.

When you buy a 65, money for fuel is not an issue.
