THE APPEAL

Utilising Mercedes-Benz's 5.4-litre supercharged V8 engine, the SL55 AMG offered nigh on supercar performance neatly packaged into a car that can be regularly used in the real world.

This 2002 example benefits from comprehensive Mercedes-Benz and specialist service history and is presented in fantastic condition. Owned by the vendor for the past 6 years, this SL55 has been driven quite sparingly, always stored inside when not in use and so it continues to look very smart. Finished in a rather fetching shade of red and with recently refurbished alloys, this AMG is sure to attract attention wherever it goes.

THE HISTORY AND PAPERWORK

  • The present owner acquired the car 6 year ago
  • Used infrequently and stored carefully
  • AMG alloy wheels professionally refurbished
  • The car has been detailed several times during the vendor's ownership
  • Black Series spoilers have been fitted
  • Regularly serviced by Mercedes-Benz and marque specialists
  • Comprehensive record of invoices
  • V5C present
  • The car will be supplied with a full year of MOT
  • The private registration is not supplied with the car

THE INTERIOR

  • Full leather upholstery
  • Heated and cooled seats
  • Beautiful condition all round
Considering its age, this Mercedes SL55 AMG's interior is in splendid condition. The seats display a little wear on the edges of the outer bolsters as you would expect, but nothing that detracts from their comfort or smart appearance.

In spite of its age, this Mercedes is still equipped with plenty of toys, including a fantastic sound system and satellite navigation.The dashboard would appear in excellent shape, with no clear signs of UV damage and all of the switchgear and screens appear free from excessive wear or damage.

The same can be said for the carpeting which bears little to no evidence of foot traffic and we particularly like the AMG badged overmats.

Inside the boot, everything appears to be in excellent order, with no damage to the carpeting we could discern.

THE EXTERIOR

  • Excellent paintwork
  • Glass is in great condition
  • Electronic hard top
  • Black Series decals and spoilers fitted
Looking around this Mercedes, the striking red paintwork looks to be in very good condition and we were unable to detect any noticeable blemishes or evidence of past damage.

The car has recently had its AMG alloy wheels refurbished, and they look superb. The vendor informs us that the tyres are also in good condition.

The vendor also tells us that AMG Black Series decals and spoiler have been fitted, which we think really add to the overall appearance.

The roof apparently operates smoothly and without fault.

THE MECHANICS

  • Excellent oil pressure and temperature
  • 5.4 Supercharged V8 Engine
  • Starts and runs very well
This car has been meticulously maintained to a high standard by Mercedes and marque specialists. The running gear and electrics are all in very good order. There are numerous invoices available detailing the mechanical maintenance and servicing the car has received.

The vendor informs us that the car always starts perfectly, runs exceedingly well and is an absolute pleasure to drive. There are reportedly no untoward noises, smoke or leaks and the car changes gear and brakes exactly as it should.
