Just got an SL320 Mille Miglia edition and wondered..

would it be bad to get rid of all the mille miglia bits? Is it worth anymore becasue it is one? Car is in truly amazing order throughout, but im not sure the red seats, carbon fibre and chequred flag bits really do anything for it, and, i also reckon a set of amg's would br preferable to the wheels on it. Alternatively, should i just keep it as is and swap it for anoter one?
Are these cars numbered, or is there a register of the ones left, i was told there was only 40 made in 95, all info and advixe greatly apreciated, thanks, kinkersaab

People usually go out of their way and run for limited edition parts (Silver Arrow, Mille Miglia, Anniversaries etc...).

Your car has charm the way it is. It is special. Don't ruin it.

Keep it authentic, and in good condition. It will appreciate in time.

I didn't go out of my to get a limited edition one, it was just i was in the right place at the right time, and it was cheap, i guess it would be sad to remove all the special bits, maybe i'll just live with it, and learn to love it. Are they worth more, or just rarer?

Rareness raises the value of things.

Enjoy your ride.

Are they worth more would depend on who is buying.
I myself would not pay extra for it, but others might. So if you are like me and don't really care about those stuffs but got it at a good price, great !
Keep it original and someone might be willing to pay a premium for it later. In the meantime enjoy it as is.

You will regret it. I actually wanted a Silver Arrow and spent one year looking for one - I gave up.

I like those front corner light markers ..... just a little orange.

What's up with those? is it only the edition that gets them?
