Geepeers! With that kind of a price I am surprised you didn't have to pay to look at it.

Sterling Moss signature SLR roaster

Taking about Sticker shock. Have anyone seen the price of the new Sterling Moss SLR roaster? 1.4 billion all 68 sold. Ugly car. I would rather have one of the special all alloy bodied 300SL gullwings and same my self a lot of cash.

That is what is called Mercy Benz marketing!!

No sticker shock for that price for a Mercedes S class in Australia.
That is the correct price.
Prices range from $ 198,000 for S350 to $ 475,000 for S65.
(and then you add extras)
SL's start from $238,000 to $500,000
You don't even want to know the price for Cl's or Maybachs

So what's that sticker on? I was going to guess a Maybach, but not with AMG leather. SL65 Black series, I bet.

You'd win that bet. The guys in Affalterbach should be very proud indeed.
