Newsletter #20  
July 2006  

Mercedes SL Enthusiast,

Our 20th newsletter celebrates our purchase of a unique Gullwing, considered by many to be the first Supercar for the road. We thought it would be interesting for you to see how a transaction at that level develops. Additionally we cover the SLR "722" edition, a car that certainly defines the term "Supercar" for the 21st century. And we conclude our series covering the stripping and painting of a lovely 190SL.

Please enjoy our latest newsletter!
