The Appeal

The Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG is a high-performance luxury roadster that combines the elegance of the SL-Class with the power of AMG engineering. The R230 was one of the most advanced cars in Mercedes-Benz history upon release, particularly notable for its folding hard-top roof. This particular 2003 example, with only 44,340 miles on the clock, is a prime example of the breed.

The current owner has cherished it for the last two years, while the previous owner kept it for over a decade - and that cossetting treatment has paid dividends. Presented in fine condition, with plenty of time on its MOT, this well-kept tourer will no doubt prove to be a very impressive addition to any garage.
