Notable as the most powerful production car ever fielded by Mercedes-Benz upon its launch in 2002, the SL55 AMG received rave reviews from the contemporary motoring press. Boasting one of the greatest engines of the 2000s, its supercharged 5.5 litre V8 produced some 476bhp and 700Nm of torque (the latter at just 2,650rpm). Allied to five-speed automatic transmission, it enabled the two-seater to sprint from 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds and on to a limited top speed of 155mph. Though, AMG ‘let slip’ that a de-limited yet otherwise standard example had been clocked at 205mph! Surprisingly civilized given the performance on tap, the SL55 boasted a full suite of ‘creature comforts' and a firm but not jarring ride. Visually enhanced via re-profiled bumpers, quad exhaust tips, and 18-inch alloy wheels, demand for the newcomer soon outstripped supply. An undoubted modern classic and one of those cars which is more than a sum of its parts, the SL55 AMG enjoys something of a cult following.

Finished in the handsome combination of Telurium Silver Metallic with Anthracite leather upholstery, chassis 052008 was built to a notably high specification including a Panoramic folding hardtop, Alpaca Grey Alcantara headliner, heated / massage front seats, Parktronic, air-conditioning, Keyless-GO, proximity controlled cruise control, electric folding mirrors, Xenon headlights, COMAND sat-nav, TV tuner and 18-inch five-spoke AMG alloy wheels etc. First registered as ‘2 LO’ on 17^th June 2003, the Mercedes-Benz was retained by its first keeper for thirteen years. Thereafter, the SL55 AMG belonged to an oil industry executive before entering the current (third) ownership after a prolonged search to find a suitably pampered, low mileage example. Serviced on an annual basis during the vendor’s tenure, the two-seater remains notably original and is warranted to have covered some 26,000 miles from new (the odometer showed 25,360 miles on the day of consignment). Kept on trickle charge, ‘GD03 KNZ’ started readily and ran well during our recent photography session. Pleasingly retaining a Mercedes-Benz battery and main dealer number plate surrounds, this notably low mileage SL55 AMG is offered for sale with original book pack, first-aid kit and MOT certificate valid until June 2024.
