The fifth generation of the iconic Mercedes SL series of cars is a true pleasure to drive, with fantastic handling and a whopping 5.4 litre supercharged V8 which punches out 500bhp and 530lb ft of torque all to the tune of that incredible AMG soundtrack.
Massive drilled brakes with multi-piston calipers certainly brings all the stopping power you will ever need. All this makes for a truly thrilling drive with 0-60 achieved in 4.5 seconds and a top speed limited to 155mph.3KDkSCnOBhOvnEoEIrIXkwt3ESmPzybQLkmLrzu6.jpeg2.67 MB
The History
This car has been utterly pampered over the course of its life, with very few miles for its age. It has a full Mercedes service history and the vendor has owned the car for around 6-8 months. He is only the 3rd keeper.
Upon purchase the vendor had a full Mercedes check commissioned which subsequently passed the car with flying colours. A full Mercedes filmed walk-around video detailing the condition is available upon request.yCl5Gsf7a26NJalmqrqhoDIeNlSCe86IJ5y5d9Y7.jpeg1.25 MB

The Exterior
The exterior is in equally excellent condition, with striking AMG trims and silver paint. The numerous vents certainly denote the power under the bonnet and the Pirelli P Zero Rosso tyres wrap the flawless 22 spoke AMG wheels.
Mechanically the car is perfect. Very little work has been done due to the very low mileage, however what has been done has been carried out with no expense spared at Mercedes service centres to keep this vehicle in perfect running order.
The SL55 AMG is the Mercedes flagship convertible sports car, and this beautiful example certainly does not disappoint, with mind numbing levels of power, comfort, and driving luxury. If you want a virtually flawless, low mile example of a luxury sports convertible, this is your car.
