I was fortunate enough to see the SL65 Black when it was introduced at the Toronto Car Show and I was smitten. I was at the show with a friend who finally had to pull me away after walking back to the show stand 4 or 5 times to ogle this beast. It's a street car that looks like it belongs on the track and is an all-time favorite of mine.

Two were sold on BAT last year for < $200k, so I think $397,500 is a bit optimistic, but the market's been a little crazy and steel gray is less common and probably carries a little premium, so who knows?

This place is a joke.
Really neat car, unfortunately they rode so hard on the street that many were bought back or sold shortly after purchase.
