The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class has been representing the pinnacle of two-door grand tourers that Mercedes-Benz can make since its 1954 debut. Many generations have been made since then, and this 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG Convertible comes to you from the R230. Produced between 2002 and 2011, the R230 brought fresh styling and engineering. Of course, AMG got their hands on the model too, with a fearsome SL55 variant. That’s what this car is, and it’s got only 34,000 miles on the clock. So, if you want a contemporary, V8-powered roadster with plenty of modern touches but none of today’s excessive digital screens, this car is for you.
Coated in Obsidian Black, this 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG Convertible is a stunner to behold, especially when it rolls by on its AMG 18-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels. The car showcases the new direction of Mercedes-Benz design that came around the 2000s, with circular headlamps and new taillight styles. Then, you’ve got a retractable hardtop with easy-pack feature, making this truly an all-weather, all-season sports car. The two-seat interior of this 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG Convertible is as luxurious as you’d expect, given that Mercedes-Benz positions the SL-Class as being one of its premium products. Sporting a Berry Red and Charcoal two-tone theme, you’ve got two leather-upholstered seats with power-adjustment, heating, and active ventilation. There’s keyless go, automatic climate control and an 8-speaker Bose sound system. You’ll even get a Motorola V60 handphone, which was the pinnacle of in-car telephones at the time. You’ll also enjoy the old-school analog gauge cluster with white-faced dials, particularly the 200mph speedometer.
What lies beneath the hood of this 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG Convertible is a sonorous and powerful supercharged 5.5-liter V8. The engine is said to make 493hp and 516lb-ft, sent to the rear wheels through a AMG Speedshift 5-speed automatic gearbox. That means 0-60 mph is likely factory rated as a 4-second affair, and while the car is reportedly capped at 155mph, it can easily do much more if derestricted. Meanwhile, the electronic stability programme and AMG high performance braking system ensure that you’re always in control of this street missile.

With the fall of normal sedans and station wagons in favor of SUVs, sports cars are bound to be considered a dying breed within the next few years. This 2022 Mercedes SL55 AMG Roadster is sure to satisfy even the most critical of drivers. The SL has come a long way in its 70-year production. It started out life as a small, grand touring sports car, with the designation "SL" derived from the German term "Sport-Leicht", which translates to "Sport Light" in English. With just 19,300 Miles on the odometer, this SL is ready to explore whatever road it is presented with. Be it a long stretch of highway, or a twisty mountain pass, it will rise to the challenge unfazed.
The Mercedes Benz SL was first produced as a race car giving it a rich heritage. Later made into a road-legal version, the first generation SL gained huge success, especially in the states and Mercedes went on to make seven generations. Each iteration was unique and had its own appeal and our subject car belongs to the 5th generation. This is a stunning 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG that has been diligently maintained and is packed with memories spanning 105,000 miles.
The 1991 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL Sedan is from the second generation of the legendary Mercedes-Benz S-Class line. The W126 is so far the most successful and the longest in production generation of the iconic S-Class. The W126 project was led by Mercedes-Benz Chief designer Bruno Sacco who aimed to make the new S-Class more aerodynamic, efficient and retain the unmistakable design elements that makes the S-Class an S-Class. The weight was significantly cut down by extensive use of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) sheets and polyurethane deformable material for the bumpers and side claddings. Lighter alloy material was used for the heavily revised 5.6-liter M117 V8 engine that this Mercedes-Benz 560SEL houses. It is also the biggest engine that you could have had with a W126 S-Class. Our featured car has a total of 80,000 miles on the odometer. We’re told this particular model has been treated to new parts and has had the front end completely rebuilt as reported by the current owner.
The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class was born as a sports car with no intention of developing into a street version. Two years later, a street-legal version was proposed for wealthy performance car enthusiasts, as the personal luxury car market was thriving at the time. A few decades later, the famed German automaker Mercedes-Benz commemorated the 60th anniversary of a memorable motor racing success. An extraordinary special model of the SL Roadster was unveiled to celebrate this milestone, and it was dubbed the "Mille Miglia," referring to the unexpected victory of a 300 SL in the production sports cars class in 1955. This example is a 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Special Edition Mille Miglia 417 with 30,150 miles on its clock. This is your chance to experience the unique symbiosis of maximum comfort and motor-racing spirit that traditionally characterizes every SL.
If you want to own a luxury Mercedes-Benz that’s a classic but still relatively modern, you can’t go amiss with an R107 example. Made between 1971 and 1989, the R107 SL-Class is a Hollywood darling and a perfect example of what Mercedes-Benz can do when they set their minds on being the best. What’s more, this 1980 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is an excellent choice because it’s got a lovely fuel-injected V8 beneath the hood. Packing a mere 98,500 miles, the current owner says that the car has received a new battery and all-new tires too. So, it’s basically a buy-and-drive classic.
Experiencing a classic motor that is original is a tough ask, as the years go by and multiple owners take over, it's normal for cars to lose their former glory along the way. Present today is the best way to experience the best of yesteryear and takes form with this lovely 1991 Jaguar XJS Convertible Classic. The classic British motor is reported to have just 43,000 original miles since new and is geared for cruising in luxury and style. What's better? This classic also comes with its owners manual and documentation to prove its originality.
