Description

2003 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG Kompressor, finished in black with desirable multi-spoke AMG alloy wheels, 71,500 miles and full service history. A very well-maintained example of the R230 SL55, powered by AMG's legendary 5.4-litre supercharged V8 producing around 500bhp. The car has just benefited from over £4,500 of expenditure with an independent Mercedes specialist in July 2026, including: New rear ABC shock absorber New tyres New rear brake discs and pads New battery Brake sensor and associated hydraulic work This recent work is particularly important on an SL55, where the condition and maintenance of the ABC suspension can make a significant difference to ownership costs. The car drives extremely well. The supercharged V8 is immensely strong and smooth, the gearbox suits the character of the car perfectly, and the ABC suspension gives it the combination of comfort and body control that made the SL55 such an impressive GT when new. Full service history and MOT until 27 July 2027. The car presents very well for its age, although as a 23-year-old car that has been driven and enjoyed, it naturally has some age-related marks - nothing worth highlighting. I would much rather describe it honestly than present it as a concours example. The SL55 is a very special car: hand-built AMG supercharged V8, folding metal roof, huge performance and genuine everyday usability. Good, properly maintained examples are becoming increasingly difficult to find. I have thoroughly enjoyed owning it and have not skimped on maintenance. Only selling because a change in circunstances. Serious enquiries welcome. Happy to talk through the car and its history in detail.
