The Appeal
The Mercedes-Benz R230 was one of its golden geese for the early 21st century. With its legendary vario roof and top-notch tech, it was the definitive Merc for the millennium - the definition of an accessible supercar with pure touring comfort.
Finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic with an Anthracite leather interior, this SL55 AMG has been meticulously maintained throughout its life. Having spent 16 years with its previous owner and always stored in a heated garage, this example has clearly been cherished. Recently serviced and with a valid MOT until March 2026, this high-spec tourer is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner.
