    Basically a TR7 with gull wings? :lol:

    Was hoping it was secretly a 300SL and the nothing German was just to throw me off course.....

    I'd love a 300SL, however I'd love enough money to buy one even more :D

    I'd guess a TR7 if they where made of plastic and fitted with either an AMC or Ford 5.0L V8 :twisted:

    Either way it'll be good to see another American classic around.

    I'm assuming because of its age it'll only be £20 to tax?

    Yes the SV-1 pre-dates the D by several years manufactured between 74 and 76 so only £20 and classic insurance. Only the petrol to worry about :shock:

    As a weekend car it'd be fine, wouldn't fancy it as a daily though!

    Should be fine to have it sva'd here, mine was even though it landed in the uk. It's where you register it that it gets tested. I just drove mine home so as long as its capable of that and has some form of number plate you should be fine.
