2005 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG

Highlights

 • Very Low Mileage
 • Stunning Condition
 • Very Few Owners

The Background

The fifth generation of the iconic Mercedes SL series of cars is a true pleasure to drive, with fantastic handling and a whopping 5.4 litre supercharged V8 which punches out 500bhp and 530lb ft of torque all to the tune of that incredible AMG soundtrack.

Massive drilled brakes with multi-piston calipers certainly brings all the stopping power you will ever need. All this makes for a truly thrilling drive with 0-60 achieved in 4.5 seconds and a top speed limited to 155mph.

The History

This car has been utterly pampered over the course of its life, with very few miles for its age. It has a full Mercedes service history and the vendor has owned the car for around 6-8 months. He is only the 3rd keeper.

Upon purchase the vendor had a full Mercedes check commissioned which subsequently passed the car with flying colours. A full Mercedes filmed walk-around video detailing the condition is available upon request.

The Paperwork

The V5 is present and two keys are included, along with the leather owners wallet, original owners manuals, service booklet and invoices for work carried out at Mercedes-Benz Southport. Lots of MOT certificates are also included. The Navigation discs are also present.

The Interior

The Interior is in immaculate condition, with only very minor signs of use. All the controls and trims are in perfect condition. The black dashboard has contrasting red stitching  and is a perfect match for the striking red leather seats and carpet.

The Interior has heated and cooled massage seats, a Bose sound system is also present should you choose to listen to something other than the music provided by the huge V8 engine!

The Exterior

The exterior is in equally excellent condition, with striking AMG trims and silver paint. The numerous vents certainly denote the power under the bonnet and the Pirelli P Zero Rosso tyres wrap the flawless 22 spoke AMG wheels.

All the glass is clear and free from damage, and the light lenses are clear and fog/condensation free. All in all, an extremely clean and original car.

The Mechanics

Mechanically the car is perfect. Very little work has been done due to the very low mileage, however what has been done has been carried out with no expense spared at Mercedes service centres to keep this vehicle in perfect running order.

There is only the usual dirt and dust associated with road use underneath but beyond that it is very clean, and under the bonnet is in excellent shape.

The Appeal

The SL55 AMG is the Mercedes flagship convertible sports car, and this beautiful example certainly does not disappoint, with mind numbing levels of power, comfort, and driving luxury. If you want a virtually flawless, low mile example of a luxury sports convertible, this is your car.
