The R230-generation Mercedes-Benz SL represents one of the most accomplished grand tourers of its era, combining elegant design, advanced engineering and exceptional long-distance capability. At the pinnacle of the range sits the Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG, powered by AMG's hand-built, supercharged 5.5 litre V8 producing approximately 493bhp. It delivers effortless performance with genuine supercar pace, while retaining the refinement and usability expected of a flagship Mercedes-Benz roadster.
This outstanding example is further enhanced by the highly desirable P030 F1 Performance Package, a rare and costly factory option that sharpened suspension, braking and steering response. Developed with influence from AMG's Formula 1 safety car programme, it adds a more focused edge to an already highly capable machine, making it the most sought-after configuration of the SL55.

First registered in October 2004, this original UK-supplied, right hand drive example has covered just 43,000 miles from new and forms part of The Continental Performance Collection, a carefully curated private assemblage of significant modern performance and luxury grand touring cars. The car has had just three owners in total, with the first retaining it for 11 years and the second for a further decade, reflecting long-term, considered ownership throughout its life.

It is accompanied by a comprehensive service history comprising 12 recorded services, the original stamped service book, Mercedes-Benz electronic records, specialist invoices, historical MoT test certificates and tax discs, as well as the original purchase invoice showing a new price of €158,000.

The specification is extensive and includes a panoramic glass vario-roof, Keyless Go, comfort seats, Parktronic, COMAND navigation, TV function, CD changer with MP3 input, voice control and a full suite of period luxury equipment. Combining rarity, provenance, performance and usability, this SL55 AMG F1 Performance Pack stands as a highly desirable example from AMG's golden era, offering a compelling blend of grand touring luxury and driver engagement.
