It is bare aluminium. The bonnet being open for the photo cast the shadow making it look black. I saw the car today.

I believe that it is the only original car of the 3 SLR's. The others are rebodied and re-chassied (so I've been told) This car also has the historic racing pedigree.

I think the recent red SLR brought back from the States cost way in excess of this by the time you add the base cost to the restoration costs.
