Goodbye SLR... *waves*

[T1M]

As you may of heard, the SLR has ceased production.

 

I know it was only a limited model, but it's still a shame. :( It's an awesome car- with an awesome engine. I love it! Of course, people will still be selling them second hand- but thats it. No new ones. Gone.

 

As you may of heard, the last SLR to roll off the line is a one-off Roadster version, with one-off paintwork and interior colour. It's to be auctioned in New York.

 

Goodbye SLR :sulk:

Wasn't limited run was it?, apparently they made to many so aren't keeping their value well. I heard 1500 made.

Too bad. First time I heard the SLR engine sound, i fell in love with it.
