The Appeal
The R230-generation SL replaced the long-lived R129, carrying forward the same essential formula, with an injection of new tech like Mercedes' brilliant Active Body Control (ABC) suspension system. A sophisticated grand tourer combining effortless V8 power with the practicality of a retractable hardtop and the refinement expected of the three-pointed star. The SL550, with its 382bhp 5.5-litre V8, offers an intoxicating blend of performance and luxury that has made it highly sought after among enthusiasts.
This particular 2008 example is well-specified, featuring both the Premium I Package and the desirable AMG Sport Package. The Premium I adds active ventilated seats with heating, multi-contour seats, bi-xenon headlamps with cornering illumination, and Keyless Go. The AMG Sport Package brings 18-inch multi-spoke AMG wheels, high-performance tyres, AMG bodywork enhancements, the AMG leather-trimmed sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, smoke-coloured taillamps, and upgraded brakes. Further enhancing the specification is the panorama roof with sunshade and Parktronic.
As a USA import, this SL550 comes with the reassurance that all duties and VAT have been paid, making it ready for European registration, which will be the responsibility of the buyer. Finished in the elegant combination of Iridium Silver Metallic over Ash Leather, this SL550 presents an opportunity to acquire a highly specified example of Mercedes-Benz's iconic roadster. The seller can assist with worldwide transport and shipping.SL550 2008 (7).jpg1.84 MB
