Beskrivning
A car we know very well having belonged to a late friend of our business. We are offering this car on behalf of his widow and family.
A well-presented and expertly engineered everyday sportscar with a modern feel. A real wolf in sheep’s clothing, this car can be docile around towns and villages, yet has that AMG-derived punch of an engine upfront to propel you to speeds you probably shouldn’t talk about in public….
This Mercedes is accompanied by an enviable history file detailing vigilant maintenance. The SL55 with its folding hardtop is a usable year-round two-seater and represents excellent value for money vs. its competition.
The colour is Tanzanite Blue paintwork with contrasting Alpaca Grey leather, Designo alcantara interior trims and light carpets. This Mercedes has the panoramic glass vario roof, parktronic system, ventilated and multi contour seating, Bi-xenon headlamps, CD Changer, alarm system, AMG body-styling, book pack and two keys.
The MOT runs to May of 2026 and next servicing installment is some way in the future having most recently been completed by local specialist, Richard Hollings Auto Services, in May of 2025 at 90, 437 miles (mileage now, still just 90, 644 miles). Road tax costs £430. 00 annually.
The year before, in May of 2024 it received a big service, plus, rectification of a mild fuel leak requiring replacement fuel regulator valve. March 2023 saw one replacement shock absorber and some other sundry tasks (£1, 100). In September of 2022, the potential “big bill” for an SL55 has mercifully (for the new owner) already been suffered with a replacement roof pump hydraulic unit being necessary (an eye-watering £3, 000, but all forgiven and in the rear-view mirror now).
Tried, tested and a rewarding car to own and enjoy, we welcome your serious attention to this striking sportscar.
