This SL55 AMG is a stunning example of the iconic R230, combining timeless design with exhilarating performance. Owned and prepared by automotive specialists, it’s been maintained to a high standard with key components refreshed for peace of mind. Widely regarded as a modern classic, the SL55 AMG was the fastest production car of its time — topping out at 202 mph and outperforming rivals like the Ferrari 550 and Porsche 911 GT2. As Classic & Sports Car notes, it marked a turning point for AMG, blending brutal pace with understated luxury. According to Mercedes-Benz’s official figures, the SL55 AMG accelerates from 0–60 mph in 4.7 seconds — a time that still rivals many modern sports cars. Independent tests, including those by Car and Driver and Evo Magazine, have recorded times as low as 4.5 seconds, showcasing the car’s real-world capability and the potency of its supercharged V8. As Parkers puts it, the SL55 AMG offers “storming performance” and “wonderful engines,” while Exotic Car Hacks calls it “one of the bargains of the century” — a car that once cost over £100,000, now available for a fraction of that, with all the pedigree intact. With under 60K miles and a strong spec, this SL55 AMG is ideal for collectors or enthusiasts seeking a powerful, appreciating asset that’s as thrilling to drive as it is to own. 5.5L Supercharged V8 (493 BHP stock) 0-60... 4.7s 5-speed automatic transmission Convertible folding hardtop Bi-Xenon headlights Cruise control Air conditioning Heated red leather multi-contour seats with electric adjustment & memory Electric folding mirrors Automatic headlights Recent Maintenance: Engine oil service Air conditioning re-gas New PCV seals New power steering/hydraulic suspension pump & regulator Suspension flush & bleed New main battery New auxiliary battery
