The Appeal
The R230-generation Mercedes-Benz SL is widely regarded as the last of the truly grand SL roadsters: a car that married effortless luxury with genuine sporting ability, all wrapped up in that ingenious folding aluminium hardtop. The SL550, with its naturally aspirated 5.5-litre V8 producing 382 bhp, sits at the top of the range and offers a blend of smooth, muscular performance and refined cruising capability. With production of the R230 having ended in 2011, well-specified and well-documented examples are becoming increasingly sought after.
This 2008 example is finished in Cubanite Silver Metallic over black Nappa semi-aniline leather with burred walnut veneer trim and left the factory with an original retail price of $122,095. The AMG Sport Package adds 18-inch AMG alloy wheels, body styling enhancements, the AMG leather sport steering wheel with shift paddles, and smoke-coloured taillamps. The P1 Package contributes ventilated and multi-contour seats, bi-xenon headlamps with cornering illumination, and Keyless Go. Further options include the panorama glass roof, Active Body Control suspension, semi-active roll stabilisation, COMAND navigation, Bose surround sound, Parktronic, and a power boot closer.
This SL comes with a clean CARFAX report showing 47 service records and no damage history. The car was last serviced approximately five months ago and shows 99,669 miles on the odometer. Having been imported from the United States to the Netherlands with EU customs duties and VAT paid, it is ready for its next custodian in Europe. The seller can also assist with worldwide transport and shipping.SL550 (7).jpg1.75 MB
