Description
An exceptional, R172 SLK 55 AMG, representing the end of an era: housing the unique 5.5L M152 V8 powerplant, it is the last big-displacement, naturally aspirated AMG V8.
It has been well maintained and heavily invested in. Optional extras include: IWC analogue clock, Magic Sky dimmable roof, and Air-Scarf neck level heating.
Full bare metal respray in 2026 - not even a stone chip on the bonnet.
New pads & discs all round, Michelin Pilot Sport all round.
Fully ULEZ/CAZ compliant.
Location & delivery:
Car is located in the Loch Lomond area. However, I often travel south for work & open to negotiating delivery.
Paintwork & Investment:
To permanently address the notorious factory Fire Opal Red lacquer peel common to this era, the car received a professional, bare-metal respray in 2026. Meticulously stripped down and refinished to showroom condition.
