The latest version of this fully-customised transport solution – traditionally one of the most popular accessories for the open-top two-seater – has been modified and enhanced to meet the needs of increasingly discerning customers. SL drivers now have even more choice and can specify a rear shelf bag that fully mirrors their own personal taste: as well as being available in the standard black/black design, the bag can be ordered in the three most popular original Seat leather colours for the SL-Class, combined with black ballistic nylon in each case. Customers can also specially request any other original Seat leather colour to ensure a perfect match with the existing interior. Each two-tone version of the elegant rear shelf bag is produced using the original Seat leather.

Thanks to the integral loops made from durable nappa calf leather, the rear shelf bag can be fastened extremely securely using the optional luggage straps. In addition, the base of the high-quality bag is raised slightly in the centre – a neat design solution that ensures a perfect, snug fit across the Roadster''s centre tunnel. Furthermore, the bag''s intelligent interior partitioning allows packing in a number of different ways in order to protect valuable items.

The rear shelf bag is made by a renowned German brand-name producer that has enjoyed a successful partnership with Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH for many years now. So customers can always be sure that the product will meet Mercedes-Benz'' exacting standards of quality and workmanship.

The all-black version of the rear shelf bag for the new SL-Class is available now from all authorised Mercedes-Benz dealerships, with prices starting from € 400. The two-tone bags will be launched in the second quarter of 2006.
