My father used to own three SL 500 in that time. It was the first sports car I ever drove. I still remember the  push on kick down. The car was really fast, the engine sound was beautiful. Enjoy this amazing motor!

Last beautiful SL in my opinion. Bruno Sacco was a great designer. From then on it went downhill design wise.

Hmm - Bruno Sacco was a game changer. He was so famous that we all still remember his name. I think, Mercedes lost it after him and found back to better design apprx. 3 years ago. Since the A-Class, S, E,.... it seems they do better now. But yes - he was a star designer!
