The Appeal
The SL55 AMG F1 Edition proudly displayed a new pinnacle for Mercedes' performance department, created to celebrate the brand's Formula 1 success. This particular example is the genuine coded 030 Performance Pack F1 optioned vehicle, which commanded £110,000 when new in 2003. What sets this car apart is not just its rarity, but the comprehensive suite of performance upgrades including engine power, enhanced suspension, composite brakes, an additional oil cooler, limited slip differential, and a raised speed delimiter.
This specific car stands out for its fastidious maintenance record, with service intervals more frequent than the recommended 5,000 miles and the most recent service completed in September 2024. With just four owners from new and a comprehensive service history, this represents a rare opportunity to acquire a meticulously maintained example of Mercedes-Benz's celebrated supercharged convertible.DSC_4595 Lewis Baker.jpg4.82 MB
