That is a beautiful SLS! I’ve only seen about a half dozen SLSs with every option and I’ve looked at almost every SLS ever posted on the internet (just kidding but I’m really not, Ha!). Is your car Iridium Silver? Do you have an extra set of the optional wheels? Any interior pics and under the hood?

Btw, impressive MB stable. Love the 65!

I'll have to step up my car pic game - don't have any interior or "under the hood" pics handy and I put it away fro the winter.
The paint is Alubeam and the engine has the carbon fiber dress-up option.

Very nice! Well if your car came with the optional upgraded wheels, sport tuned suspension, battery tender and car cover I’d say you had every option cover. If that’s the case I’ve only seen one other like yours in the North America. I actually tried to buy it.

Was the battery tender an option or a standard feature?

Good question? 675 BATTERY CHARGER KIT - I’ve seen it listed/described as an accessory and as standard on a build sheet. They either seem to go missing when these cars change hands and I’ve also heard of them not being delivered with the car when new. I’ll assume it’s the same mystery as the Presentation Book.

Those are some awesome pictures. So many SLS and 300sl in one place. What an excellent turnout and a beautiful location. Wish I could have been there!

What an amazing collection of enthusiasts getting together and sharing stories about their cars! I always wonder if some little munchkinis just going to jump into the driver seat when I leave the doors open like that

Per William Vetter who was head of AMG division at MBUSA in 2014 and this was shared by him on the AMG private lounge there was no green SLS AMG Black Series imported to the USA so this green is probably a wrap.The production breakdown for the 2014 SLS Black Series Coupe in the USA:
  • 132 – total vehicles, of which:
    • 39 (-197 Obsidian Black)
    • 32 (-048 designo Mystic White)
    • 30 (-278 Solarbeam Yellow)
    • 10 (-756 Imola Grey)
    • 7 (-775 Iridium Silver)
    • 7 (-044 Magno Alanite Grey)
    • 5 (-590 Mars Red)
    • 1 (-494 LeMans Red (pre-production car that was built before 494 was cancelled on the SLS platform))
    • 1 (-777 Silver Arrow (one-off car made for internal purposes))

It’s been repainted and the interior has been redone.

The owner will take a financial hit if they ever decide to sell the car. Originality is really important in MB world. I watched Alice Cooper's customized W198 Gullwing sell at Barrett-Jackson about 10 years ago and the customizing lowered the sale price by a couple hundred thousand. $$$.Not a good financial move imho.
