Andrew Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Just up the road from my new house. Sat on the driveway looking rather menacing. I was late so didn't take any pics but will on the way home. Spotted some Impala too whihc might be more unusual for the area ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4ttm4son Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Make sure you clock the reg and check it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Check JAV11D to see if it is an SL65. Doing that from memory having seen it Saturday so if that isn't it I'll need to go back at the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 JAV11D is an Audi A3 special edition 1.6 in black! I checked JAV1D as well just in case, and that's a C320 CDi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I'd best have another look then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Finally got round to this. Looks real enough to me (having never seen one before). The rear tyres are huge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Reg check had limited info, i.e. no model info, but says it's a black Mercedes with a 5.0 petrol engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Should be a 6.2 shouldn't it? Maybe 5l is the maximum for Reg Check? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4ttm4son Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Reg check had limited info, i.e. no model info, but says it's a black Mercedes with a 5.0 petrol engine. Year: 1st September 2002? Maybe it's a typo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torino101 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 If it is a regular 500 that he's pimped up then it's a flipping good effort! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzbitt Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 I have noticed that rare cars on the DVLA database do tend to have limited information for some strange reason so it maywell be legit unlike the replica i posted a while ago.

Tipex Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 I use the MyCarCheck app, it'll show whatever details are on record, so if it's registered as a 6.2 it'll say. It looks to me like someone has altered the details on the V5 to hide the model name, presumably to hide the fact from people like me with reg check apps that it isn't an AMG, the only thing you can't change without proof of engine swap is the engine size. I don't think Mercedes would get that wrong when registering it, as it would have implications with taxing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 I saw a C63 Black coupe in, er, white this morning. Purposeful, and noisy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipex Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 I'll never look at an AMG Merc in the same way again, they're all fakes apparently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4ttm4son Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 At least it's a Merc and not a Toyota MR2 underneath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza_g Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Should be a 6.2 shouldn't it? Maybe 5l is the maximum for Reg Check? SL65 AMG Black should have the 6L V12 twin turbo I think, not sure if there is a SL63AMG Black yet? If you have the cash Merc themselves will sell you the 'bits' to make your AMG (or lesser SL, C class) into a black series copy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 If you have the cash Merc themselves will sell you the 'bits' to make your AMG (or lesser SL, C class) into a black series copy And people really are that stupid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4ttm4son Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 If you have the cash Merc themselves will sell you the 'bits' to make your AMG (or lesser SL, C class) into a black series copy They even help to devalue their brand? Oh dear. Does that mean they will sell the parts to make your AMG Black look like a boggo poverty spec sleeper? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 The house it is sat outside is incongruous with someone who can lavish £250k on a car, it must be said. And it is just sat outside all the time. Looks quite good from the back though as you can see. Need to see it out and about - I suspect the noise might be a giveaway.

Tipex Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 With a 5.0 V8 it'll still sound pretty nice i'd imagine, you wouldn't spunk all that cash on bodykit and wheels and then neglect the exhaust, would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
