• Just 66,500 miles from new and just two former keepers

• Offered with documented service history, the vast majority completed by Mercedes-Benz main agents
• 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 516lb ft of torque (the latter at just 2,650rpm). Allied with 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 civilised given the performance on tap, the SL55 boasted a full suite of creature comforts and a firm but not jarring ride. Visually enhanced viâ 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.

With just 66,500 miles and three owners from new, this superb 2003 SL55 AMG is described by its owner as being in “excellent” condition in all areas. Its survival in such fine order can be attributed in part to its first owner, who kept it until 2021 and evidently lavished considerable care on it. Resplendent in its very pleasing original colour scheme of Tellurium Silver with a Graphite Grey interior, it has been a well-specified car from new, with original equipment including the AMG styling package (consisting of the front spoiler and side skirts), a CD changer and premium sound system, heated seats, and electric folding external mirrors.

The service book reveals that the SL55 has received nine services across its life, of which eight have been by a Mercedes main dealer. In the present ownership since 2023, it has been subject to much further care and attention in that time, with many new parts fitted including front tyres, Brembo front brake discs and pads, the battery, sparking plugs and coils, and rear suspension bushes. The wheels have also been professionally refurbished. In lovely order throughout, it is sold with an MOT with no advisories until October, 2026.
