    Marco,

    No argument here on the looks of the SLP. It's even more striking in black..



    Retail price is $7500. It goes for about half on the secondary market.

    Mmm... It certainly does also look gorgeous in black! The price is pretty much what I expected, and would certainly be in the right zone, should I ever consider changing my Croft.

    Defo one to store for future reference!

    Marco.

    P.S Any chance of a pic with the hoods off?

    Thanks guys. I've been enjoying this forum for awhile now. It's quite different from the ones I'm accustomed to (they tend to all take themselves a little too seriously). Just glad I could contribute..
