Throughout the Mercedes-Benz community there is a distinct underlying pervasive passion that inspires and excited individuals, couples and groups to get together and share in this passion. SLSHOP exists to maintain this passion. Our Proud owners series is about the individuals that we have had the pleasure of knowing and supporting over the years. About their personality, their history of car ownership and what inspires them to continue maintaining and enjoying their SLSHOP certified Mercedes-Benz.

In the first episode, we meet Nigel, a true SL connoisseur, friend and SLSHOP ambassador with a rich history of classic car ownership. Nigel has been part of the SLSHOP family for over six years now, purchasing his car from SLSHOP back in 2014. Since then, Nigel has supported us at many of our events, leading the pack with his smile and passion for enjoying his Mercedes amongst other enthusiasts. To show our thanks to Nigel for his enduring support, we wanted to share his story of ownership in the first of what will be many Proud Owners videos.
