The Appeal

The R230-generation SL550 paired a 5.5-litre V8 with open-air grand touring luxury. Its 382 HP engine, seven-speed automatic transmission, and Active Body Control suspension made for a capable and comfortable cruiser, while the electrohydraulic retractable aluminium hardtop provided year-round usability.

This 2007 example is finished in Alabaster White over Beige leather and carries a generous specification. The AMG Sport Package and P01 Premium Package are both fitted, along with Linguatronic voice control and an electronic trunk closer, bringing the total factory option value to over $9,500.

Originally supplied for the US market, this left-hand-drive SL550 has been imported to Europe via the Netherlands with all duties and VAT paid. It is accompanied by its USA title, Dutch import documentation, original window sticker, and Mercedes-Benz datacard. Local registration is the responsibility of the buyer.
