The Details:

This 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG is an Australian-delivered car finished in Tellurium Silver over Graphite Exclusive Nappa leather and specified with a desirable selection of factory options.

Power is thanks to a hand built supercharged 5,439 cc M113K V8, which produced 368 kW and 700 Nm in Australian specification. This drives the rear wheels through a five-speed AMG Speedshift automatic transmission. Mercedes-Benz quoted 0 - 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds. The SL 55 also featured Active Body Control hydraulic suspension, AMG-specific chassis tuning and substantially uprated brakes. 

This Australian-delivered example was built in April 2003 and is finished in Tellurium Silver over Graphite Exclusive Nappa leather. It rides 18-inch five-spoke AMG alloy wheels housing drilled brake discs.

Its factory specification includes the panoramic glass Vario roof, AMG sports seats, COMAND system, Keyless Go, Bose sound system, Linguatronic voice control, TV tuner, electric side mirrors, protective undershield and AMG alloy wheels.

The seller advises that the car remains completely stock and original and is accompanied by full service history. They are understood to be the second owner, having acquired it from the original owner who ordered the car new. The odometer displayed 107,293 km when photographed.

The seller advises that the Vario roof has recently stopped operating and that a mechanic has diagnosed the roof control module as the cause, with a repair quotation obtained.

With its supercharged AMG V8, sophisticated hydraulic suspension and folding panoramic hardtop, the SL 55 AMG combines impressive performance with the poise and comfort expected of a Mercedes-Benz grand tourer. This example is particularly appealing for its Australian delivery, extensive factory specification, two-owner history and largely original presentation.
