The year may not be quite over, and what a year it has been! A raft of SLs have found forever homes through The SLSHOP, we have continued to service and restore your cars… in the process we have made many more friends thanks to our continued dedication and your continued support for the SL.
Our Open Day this year was a huge success, and for 2020 we’ll be focusing on doing more with your classic car. We’ve put together a number of events for the year ahead, and look forward to sharing more information on these in the near future. Each event has a different focus.
DRIVE events are a chance for you to push your SL and experience the joy of touring. TALK events encompass a special guest, an opportunity to learn more about the SL, the marque and the market. MEET events are open to all classic car enthusiasts, and are just as much an opportunity for newcomers to our hobby to meet these cars as they are a chance for you to meet like minded SL owners.

The DRIVE Event – Donington Track Day – April 2020 and October 2020
Join us for a day of high speed classic motoring. An SLSHOP track day is a chance to experience our cars, our expertise and our hospitality at one of the UKs leading race circuits.
Strap yourself into the hot seat of our 450SL or Ponton racing cars and experience the thrill of track driving without the pressure of competition. We want our guests to enjoy the exhilaration of driving a classic car quickly without the constraints of the road.
The event takes place on a public track day. For those of you unfamiliar with the format, it’s a ‘none racing’ public day hosted by Donington Park. Our classics will share the track with a plethora of other vehicles. No experience is required and all equipment and tutoring will be provided.
We’ll meet at Donington Park for coffee before the driver and passenger briefing. The day will be based around our pit lane garage, where refreshments and drinks will be available. Throughout the day all guests will have ample opportunity to drive and be driven in these purpose built racing cars, a chance to experience the thrill of classic motor racing in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Our track days are all about enjoyment, trying something new, meeting like-minded people and pushing your automotive boundaries.
Spaces are limited to ensure guests have a good amount of access to both driver and passenger seats. Want to read more? Take a look at our 2019 event here.
