Found this on the web -

We hadn't heard of this Special edition, but we have the 1997 SL500 40th
Anniversary Edition.

And here are some pics (looks like there is one for sale) -

We have a calypso green SLK, not sure that this SL500 looks as good, but I'm
sure someone would think so. They only made 30, so it is exclusive.
