Registration: LR52 LWA Chassis Number: WDB2304742F036926 Engine Number: 11399260007107 CC: 5439 Year of Manufacture: 2002 RHD/LHD: Right Hand Drive
Introduced in 2002, after some five years in development, the R230 Series SL Roadster was an engineering 'tour de force'. Painstakingly modeled on a state-of-the-art supercomputer which enabled the designers to analyse every curve and line, it looked utterly sensational with an air of barely contained aggression that gave it huge road presence. Packed full of sophisticated electronic driver aids which made it immensely safe but also fun to drive, it was an instant hit with press and public alike and is widely considered to be the best-looking Mercedes for many years. The power-operated aluminium folding roof was particularly admired and would disappear into the top of the boot at the press of a button in just 16 seconds, yet still leave enough room underneath for 206 litres of luggage space. It was in 2003 that the stunning looking SL55 AMG version was introduced. Seriously powerful and massively fast, the 5.4-litre engine gave 476 BHP and a tree stump pulling 520lbs/ feet of torque! Early owners included the, notoriously difficult to please, Jeremy Clarkson, who became quite vocal about his enthusiasm for the way it drove, the way it looked and above all, the way it sounded! Featuring the amazing "Panoramic Electric Glass Roof System", it became the sports car to own between 2003 and 2006. This right-hand drive, automatic SL55AMG was first registered in 2004 and is finished in Silver with a Black leather interior. The V5 indicates that its first owner was Mrs.Rekha Mahtani, however, the surname of the car's second owner is the same so it may be that the Mercedes remained in the same family. It has been very lightly used, however, having covered only 12,438 miles in the last 13 years. The service records indicate that it was serviced on 22/04/04-4,155miles, 21/06/05-6,123 miles, 30/08/07-8,752 miles, and 25/01/16-12,239 miles. This SL55 AMG presents really, really well and appears almost unmarked. The engine bay appears showroom fresh and the whole car has patently been looked after. Ballistically quick, fabulous looks, continent covering pace, yet as civilised in town as a Toyota Corolla, it's no wonder that some supercar owners tend to get a little upset.
