    I've liked the SLR ever since I saw Clarkson drive one to Oslo. What a wonderful noise. I find the SLR fits into that time where cars were beginning to take on the look they currently have, with insane amounts of power and driver aids but it's before the time of all the touchscreen displays.

    IMO, this car is the best looking of all the versions you would actually drive on public roads. It actually looks like it could be made today and slot right into that hyper GT marketplace. I think this car is going to be a great find for the right buyer and its current bid of £250,000 is WAY under where its value is. If someone can get this for under £750,000 it's a steal!

    I'm surprised that no mention is made here (or in Wikipedia) of the role of Advanced Composites Group in the SLR McLaren cars. ACG, based just outside Somerset West, 40minutes drive from Cape Town, manufactured all of the carbon fibre parts for the SLR McLarens - and that means just about all of the structure, plus sundry bits and pieces. I was very fortunate, in the mid-noughties, to participate in a quality management certification audit at ACG's impressive and beautiful factory. As the reader will know, the manufacture of carbon fibre products is a fascinating mixture of traditional, low-tech and ultra modern, high tech processes. A nice touch was that, sometime prior to the audit, McLaren had actually shipped a completed car out to ACG for the workforce to inspect, sit in and (I think) actually (for some) to be driven in.

The most misunderstood hypercar, yes, that’s true. When I first saw this masterpiece at the Geneva Motorshow I went upside down and couldn’t sleep for days without dreaming of owning one. Didn’t win the lottery yet though... maintenance costs are prohibitive... who cares... I want one!!!

    Dear SLR, back in 2007 I dreamed that one day in the future I would own you. And now 16 years later being 34 I feel like that future might never come and I have settled for 2010 Aston Martin DB9 instead. I am not closing door on you, and my heart still for you. That day might still come when I’ll hold you in my arms, my one and only 722s SLR.

    I think jay leno said this car is more like a daily driver super car. Its much more comfortable in every way than your typical super car.

    Such a good looking car. I'd have my, hypothetical, 765LT Spider with an interior trimmed like that.
