Thanks Scott, your car makes me feel I have a junker and now this!

Oh well, it is a sharp ride.
Although it's a beautiful SL and in as new condition I look at it another way.

That car is IMO unloved, a little sad and too good to use.

At 900kms on the odo it has almost no fantastic holidays, day trips or experiences with a partner in the passenger seat that our SL's have in droves. It will also probably be sold to someone who will continue to keep it in a sterile storage condition or drive it very little and so it will have missed the point of being created.

If it was Australian delivered [RHD] and I could afford it, I don't know if I could drive it like I do with my own SL. It should at least sit in a MB dealers showroom and be seen.

Not locked away.

What would you do?

Drive it or store it?
