Ok - the SLR is gloriously competent - but is this a rather naff pastiche of the iconic 300 SLR

In fact even it is - who cares? - the SLR has mainly been bought by an older demographic who want dynamic performance without much in the way of thrills of accessing them.

This last iteration of the SLR - a limited edition of 75 - will be offered to the most loyal SLR customers - and will commence production as the SLR Roadster production ends. The car is not being offered in North America - and will use the same 650 bhp supercharged 5.4-litre V-8 found in the SLR McLaren 722 Edition.

Rumoured to be around $1m - it's not for me - I don't have the money - nor the table cloth trousers suitable for golfing - with price tag attached...
