The Appeal
The R230 SL55 AMG occupies a special place in the Mercedes-Benz performance line-up. Its hand-built, supercharged 5.5-litre V8 produces 493 horsepower and delivers a driving experience that few grand tourers of any era can match, a blend of brute force and boulevard refinement that has only grown in stature since production ended. Among SL55 AMG enthusiasts, the panoramic glass vario roof variant is particularly coveted; it's a rare factory option that transforms the cabin when the hardtop is raised, flooding it with natural light.
This 2008 example is finished in Iridium Silver Metallic over black/Anthracite leather, with the desirable P1 Package, high-gloss carbon fibre trim, a Designo Alcantara Anthracite headliner and a premium Bose surround-sound system. With a new list price of $138,135, it was generously specified from the factory.
The accompanying CARFAX report shows 35 maintenance entries and a clean, damage-free history. Recent maintenance has been thorough, with a pre-delivery inspection including oil and filter changes carried out in November 2025. The engine is confirmed as matching-numbers.
Now imported to the Netherlands with EU customs duties and VAT settled, this SL55 AMG arrives ready for its next chapter on European roads. It is supplied with its window sticker and Mercedes-Benz datacard. The seller can also assist with worldwide transport and shipping.SL55 AMG Silver (15).jpg1.35 MB
