Mercedes  SL500 based
V8 folding metal roof, the ultimate donor!
0-60 6.3
155mph restricted can be re-mapped

The S range being Mercedes flag ship cars most donors come fairly loaded massage seats, key-less entry and go, parking sensors, head light wash, xenon lights, navigation, bose sound, triptronic auto, air ride suspension adjustable from within the car making speed bump problems not a problem anymore!.


the kit will come with lots of bits we have been asked for over the years such electric folding heated mirrors, PU injection molded not GRP as are the front lights. Wiring harnesses for the new lights so removing the head aches, simple plug and play.
So the best of both worlds coupe and spyder all in one.

This product feels like another step in the evolution of the DNA ethos.
 Proportions and flow looks great
 Shut lines, tight!
 I look at it and wonder where the compromise is.
 A truly stunning car guys.
 I think this will draw a new market. I know I'm looking at a replica, but it doesn't feel like I am. This may attract the type of person who wants a grand tourer that's just that little bit special.
 D 
Well, I'm into the 11th year of the project, could it be ready for Stoneleigh 2020, doubt it. The longest DNA build ever

Fantastic looking car guys. Well done. It looks amazing.
What year SL 500?
Can you give us some more info, even if you put a new thread in the owners only section, on what comes with the kit, costs, and ease of fitting. That is what is involved to do this conversion.
Will you be doing any interior upgrades?
Look forward to seeing it at the shows.
Happy Easter to all of you.

Happy Easter.
