High specification including panoramic glass roof and Designo Alcantara headlining

The Appeal

The R230 SL55 AMG is one of the great modern grand tourers. With 493hp from its supercharged 5.4-litre V8, a folding hard top that transforms it from coupé to convertible in seconds, and the comfort and refinement expected of a Mercedes-Benz flagship, it remains a compelling proposition for those seeking serious performance wrapped in everyday usability.

This example stands apart from many on the market thanks to its rare Tellurium Silver Metallic paintwork (code 762U), a costly factory option that lends a subtle bluish hue quite distinct from standard silver. Inside, the grey leather interior with Designo Alcantara Alpaca Grey headlining is complemented by a generous specification that includes a panoramic glass roof, multi-contour massage seats with heating, Keyless Go, a Bose sound system, and the COMAND system with navigation.

The car comes with a stamped service book recording maintenance to 2019 at 57,085 miles, with work carried out by Mercedes-Benz dealers and specialists. More recently, over £2,300 has been spent on items including a new cooling pump, headlamp washer replacement, and repair of the massage seat function.
