Sleek slr body design with bi fold roof at economy prices

My old 230 slk was a hard car to replace, having had the benefit of a convertable hard top at the press of a switch.
The 350 V6 smooth great economy 7 speed tip gearbox. Warm air scarf full leather and elegant body styling was a total shock giving better economy than the previous 4cyl 2.3 kompressor engine. i am so pleased that i kept my old one as now they are now going up in value, my old one has a greater classic guaranteed insurance value than my 350 slk.
all round the 350 is a much improved well equiped car, still showing signs of very low depreciation. lets face it what else can you get for £5k? Parts are readily available at sensible prices.
If you are really desperate to lose your licence then drive the V8 55 slk, As i only need two seats This is just ideal, the only other car that i would have considered, if they made one would be the aston martin db with a bi fold roof rather than a rag top. However service costs of the aston are more than double.
Great value for money & definately not a hairdressers car.
