Ah, you noticed the AMG badging on the rims? I do believe it is. Tho I don't think its available in Lanka.

If you're referring to the AMG rims, you can get it down via D*mo...

Machang I think we'll need a clue, checked ford laser, citroen, renault (or have I finished) that I could think of to no avail

Oh good. I thought no one was paying any attention

I can't state the country of origin, but it ain't Jap. The time frame is right though... Go wild!

2 or 3 of these were raced in the N'Eliya Hill Climbs in the mid 90s... the light blue one dominated the over 14 kg/hp (or was it 12-14 kg/hp... not sure about that though...)

Congrats S_N!

FYI its also known as the Avto Vaz 2109 (Made in the USSR, continued production in Russia till early '00s). Also, the light blue Samara belongs to the evergreen Romani de Silva.

No no I meant the car. That it might not be a fair question since we don't have that car in SL.

Oh but we do. We've got a Silver SL55 over here. If I remember correctly its got the plates "HI - 0055" (Merc Pageant '05)

I meant we don't have the AMG version over here Errr ... Do we?

SL55 is AMG. I don't think there is a non-AMG version

EDIT: 3rd pic of the white SL - the door still trim ain't AMG. I'm not sure about this, but I think stainless steel 'AMG' stills are standard in a SL55 AMG. But the stills in that R230 are different (they're neither the standard ones nor illuminated). Probably just a 350 or 500 with AMG alloys...

AFAIK , the one here is a proper SL 55 AMG

GTAm might be able to confirm and eliminate any lingering doubts

Yes, but I didn't think the one here was the AMG, thought it was a SL500 or summin. Anyone have a pic of this car? Madmax covered a Merc pageant once but I don't think its in that.

Sunbeam Talbot COnvertible it is. Now been restored by one of my former colleagues.

Small history on it. There were two units bought to the country by the Police for special duties. They were originally black..

This is the only one in original condition as at now. The other was converted to kerosene and had got a 50- number later in its life and its not to be found according to him.

My friend bought it from K*ngs R*nt-a-c*r

Here are some pics.
