I popped in to see Sam Bailey, founder of @slshopuk . SL Shop is a specialist focusing on the Mercedes SL doing everything from sales, restorations through to their own restomods. Sam is a serious car fanatic, we don't just discuss Mercedes and the business (although we cover most things you need to know about the various SLs). We also discuss his racing in Caterhams, a selection of the driver's cars he owns (lots of goodies in here) and the fact both of us have chosen an E63s wagon as our daily!
Plenty for everyone so have a listen.
