• 1 owner from new and entered from a private collection
• Just c.36,000 miles from new
• Finished in Metallic Black with Anthracite leather upholstery and a Panoramic hardtop
• An undisputed modern classic, powered by one of the greatest V8 engines of recent years

Notable as the most powerful production car ever fielded by Mercedes-Benz upon its launch in 2002, the SL55 AMG received rave reviews from the contemporary motoring press. Boasting one of the greatest engines of the 2000s, its supercharged 5.5 litre V8 produced some 476bhp and 700Nm of torque (the latter at just 2,650rpm). Allied to a five-speed automatic transmission, it enabled the two-seater to sprint from 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds and on to a limited top speed of 155mph., although AMG ‘let slip’ that a de-limited yet otherwise standard example had been clocked at 205mph! Surprisingly civilized given the performance on tap, the SL55 boasted a full suite of creature comforts and a firm but not jarring ride. Visually enhanced via re-profiled bumpers, quad exhaust tips and 18-inch alloy wheels, demand for the newcomer soon outstripped supply. An undoubted modern classic and one of those cars which is more than a sum of its parts, the SL55 AMG enjoys something of a cult following.

First registered on 30 April 2003, this SL55 AMG has been enjoyed by just one owner from new and has only covered c.36,000 miles during that time. Entered from a private collection, it is only being offered for sale due to the unfortunate ill health of the vendor. Finished in Metallic Black with Anthracite leather upholstery, the car’s impressive specification includes a desirable Panoramic hardtop. Offered with a current V5c document due to a period of dry storage, the Mercedes will require some re-commissioning before retuning to the road. The registration number showing in the images is not included in sale.
