"A" for effort but FAIL on style...I'm surprised he kept the interior carpet black......there was a lot of time and money that went into that...probably could have bought a nice late model SL65.

I think you will find this is a factory Designo example.
They have to show what packages are avalible.
This stunning example comes as standard with free wacky backy up 80,000 miles or 4 years,which ever comes first,i belive Bill Clinton has this exact model

I seen that car first hand at towers in Ft. Lauderdale, it definitely draws a crowd but the same can be said for the elephant man.

It's no longer a MB. If you're really gonna get an SL63 then you'd be smarter than to consider such a poser car.

hahaha omg that thing...Joseph The Gambler

You know what, strangely it looks better with all the panels and doors open than it does with them down...but not by much. I can't look at it anymore, there's one SL that will never be the same.
