  • Offered with original owner’s wallet, handbooks and service book

The SLK 55 AMG was launched in 2004, powered by a naturally aspirated 5.4-litre V8, producing 355bhp and driving the rear wheels through a seven-speed automatic gearbox with paddle shifts. Car & Driver Magazine reported a 0-60mph time in 4.3 seconds. The SL55 featured the AMG body kit, 18in alloy wheels, lowered suspension and quad exhausts as standard. Desirable options included a Harman Kardon stereo and Airscarf neck heating. While keenly priced at £51,975 when new, its ability to deliver two cars in one – it’s both a laidback and cosseting coupe and a blood-spitting hairy-chested roadster – it was widely renowned as a highly engaging machine. Motortrend magazine described the car in 2005 as doing “…just about everything the slightly larger, considerably heavier SL500 and SL55 AMG has to offer. The SLK55 can show the SL500 a thing or two on an interesting piece of road. It's a second and a half quicker to 60 than the SL500 and just 0.2 seconds slower than the supercharged SL55."

Displaying a very low mileage reading of just 5,050 miles from new, this Mercedes Benz SLK 55 AMG has just 1 former keeper. ‘PV55 VNB’ is finished in Opal Fire Red complemented to a Black leather interior this model is surely an unquestionably modern classic roadster, that is certainly well-renowned for its ‘pocket-rocket’ status. The subject of an oil change in September of this year, it is offered with the original owner’s wallet, handbooks and service book plus a collection of old invoice sand MOT certificates.

Said to be in ‘as new’ condition it’s no surprise the vendor currently grades the engine, gearbox, paintwork, interior, electrical equipment and paintwork all as ‘excellent’ order. A rare opportunity to purchase what must be one of the lowest mileage SLK 55 AMGs on the market.
