The Appeal

The advent of the SL55 AMG marked a return to the original "Sport Leicht" concept of the 1950s. Here was the usual SL convertible, but the SL55 was also a serious sports car in a way many of its predecessors certainly weren't.

Our 2004 example stands out for its rare glass panorama roof option, a feature that enhances the R230 platform. With its hand-built supercharged 5.5-litre V8 producing 493 horsepower, this SL55 AMG delivers strong performance while maintaining the refinement expected of a Mercedes-Benz flagship.

This car offers a great opportunity for enthusiasts, having been properly maintained throughout its life as evidenced by its clean Carfax report with 29 service records. The comprehensive documentation, including the original window sticker and Mercedes-Benz datacard, confirms its provenance and specification. With all import duties and VAT already paid, this SL55 AMG offers a straightforward ownership proposition for European buyers.
