Thanks for looking into it XO-Tech. :sun:

As for silver cars in the US, I count the two you mentioned, plus Carl Beal's, Herb Chamber's, and I have heard that Larry Ellison's car is also silver. I wouldn't think that it would be either of those three though.

There is also a gentleman in Florida - Gerd Petrik - who has a Dk Silver F1, but the Shelton car doesn't appear to be that color from the photos that I posted here. He also owns the only CLK-GTR Strasseversion (#4 of 25) that I'm aware of in the US. An article I read said that he was able to buy that car for 1.7mil after finding a champion horse for the daughter of the co-founder of AMG. On top of that he still had to pay another couple hundred thousand dollars to bring here and legalize it. Also in his collection is the only Euro-spec F50 that has been brought into the US which seems surprising as I was not aware that DOT would let those in. Things may have changed since that article was written of course.

Anyway, I put a very similar thread to this one on a few other forums in the hope that someone locally will get out there and check it out for me. I don't have any faith that we'll see the photos from that original poster any time soon. If I get anything back through those other threads, I will of course share it with the group.
