Building on the success of our #SLSHOP50 event, the 2022 Open Days will be even more engaging and on a larger scale.

TESTIMONIALS FROM THE TRIBE
”Just wanted to thank the entire SLSHOP team for putting on a wonderful 50th anniversary event at your premises & at Brooklands. You guys worked your ‘socks off’…Stuttgart would have been proud. The UK effort was fabulous.”
Nev Sahota
”Thank you all for a really incredible day. I was amazed to be the only woman driving! My R107 was my father’s from new. Picked it up from the Stuttgart factory 1971. My son restored it with my husband and I during lockdown. It was hard work! My parents were married in that car. I was married in that car. It is truly special.”

Open Day
On November 16th our SLSHOP Open Day took place, the first public open day since the SLSHOP moved to new premises. After a terrible five week run of weather, it was clear that the weather gods have a soft spot for the SL. Our day started under glorious skies, with uncharacteristic winter sunshine and warmth.
