New To Me SL63
Picked this up today, love it! 2009 SL63 with 61k, recent full service and a VMI with extensive history. Purchased from a private party who also owned a Maybach and G-wagen. Should look great with my wife’s E63.

I’ve spent an awful lot with FCP Euro over the years!

My ceiling is about 14 ft, I have a standard four post lift.
