Description

2003 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG

Thumping supercharged 5.4-litre V8 with desirable panoramic glass roof; massage seats; split rim alloy wheels and fewer than 70,000 miles indicated - AMENDMENT - see additional info below

This vehicle was first registered in June 2003 and has had five owners, the latest having owned the car since May 2015.  In Metallic Telluer Silver with a grey leather interior, it rides on 19in alloys (nearly a foot wide at the rear) and has a smoked glass Vario Pan hardtop that folds away into the boot at the touch of a button. Costing £89,000 in 2002 before any options were added, ownership was restricted and only around 1,500 were sold in the UK.

Features include upgraded Alpine sound system & sat nav with USB port, rear view camera, cruise control, electric heated & cooled seats and a paddle-shift five-speed gearbox that allows the driver to cruise around in auto mode or switch to manual via the gear lever or steering wheel buttons – whichever you prefer.  In addition to the rear view camera, it also features front and rear parking sensors and an upgraded ‘comfort’ steering wheel which also incorporates the gearshift paddle buttons on the reverse.  
The car is only showing 69, 310 miles, has a fresh MOT (to March 2022) with no advisories, comprehensive service history with either Mercedes Benz dealerships or specialist Mercedes service garages, recent full service, (February 2021) four new tyres (less than 1,000 miles) and a substantial MOT history. Parts invoices are included along with all original booklets and instructions.  
At the time of its launch, the SL55 AMG was the most powerful production car ever to storm out of the Stuttgart factory gates and it remained so until 2008 when it was replaced by the even more powerful SL63. You will need to dig a little deeper in your pocket for one of those, so why not fill your boots with this supercharged V8 monster instead.

AMENDMENT - Bidders are advised that although the car can be locked and unlocked via the infared, the keyless - go system is faulty.
