SL55 in Car & Driver One Lap of America

I think this SL55 AMG entered the One Lap of America that starts this Friday May 3rd. Anyone follow the One Lap?

That has a UK plate on it (but isnt a UK supplied car, because SL55 dont start here yet)

If I remember correctly, I heard from some guys who did the EUropean Gumball rallye last year, thats for this years Euro gumball , which starts anyday now (probably already started)

The Gumball 3000 is different from the One Lap of America
Here are the links to both events:

This years Gumball was in the US last week...

The One Lap starts this week.

Joe Macari does list a SL55 AMG LHD

The Joemacari.com website of Wimbleton does list a LHD SL55 AMG for sale at 93,500 pounds. Color appears to match the photo above (silver/grey). Assume this is one and the same vehicle ready and available for delivery in the UK? (By the way what is 93,500 pounds in US dollars??)

Its about $130k. The UK list for right-hand-drive cars [which come standard with a load of things that are optional on german supplied cars] is just under 90k pounds. And theres a long long list.
