Description

We are delighted to offer this exceptionally attractive 2002 Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG (R230), finished in the elegant colour Tanzanite Blue Metallic with a grey leather interior. This relatively rare and particularly tasteful colour combination perfectly complements the timeless character of this powerful AMG roadster.

The SL originally comes from the long-term ownership of an elderly gentleman who enjoyed the car for many years and later also drove it in Spain. Over the course of its life, the Mercedes was completely repainted in its original factory colour. In recent years, the vehicle has also undergone extensive mechanical refurbishment, which can certainly be described as a comprehensive partial restoration.

Particular attention was paid to the sophisticated ABC suspension system. Numerous wear-related components on both the front and rear axles were replaced, along with essential parts of the ABC system, including the valve block, pressure accumulators and hydraulic lines. The rear shock absorbers were also renewed, and the ABC system was thoroughly cleaned.

In addition, extensive work was carried out on the engine, drivetrain and braking system. This included the replacement of engine and transmission mounts, various seals, ignition and fuel system components, as well as several drivetrain components. The braking system received new brake discs and pads on both the front and rear axles, alongside the replacement of numerous other age-related wear components.

Further work included the replacement of the headlight lenses, both rear light units and various body-related components. The hydraulic roof cylinders were renewed by Mercedes-Benz, and the vehicle also underwent a comprehensive 90-point inspection at Mercedes-Benz. The SL is presented in a well-maintained, rust-free and accident-free condition.

The interior has also received attention as part of the refurbishment. The centre armrest has been renewed, while the steering wheel is being professionally retrimmed. A modern navigation system with Apple CarPlay has also been installed, combining contemporary convenience with the classic appearance of the interior.

Following its long-term first owner, the SL passed through two further registered keepers in connection with the extensive mechanical refurbishment and repainting work. The vehicle subsequently found its way into the hands of its current owner, on whose behalf we are now pleased to offer this special SL 55 AMG for sale.

Powered by its impressive 5.5-litre supercharged V8 engine, the SL 55 AMG remains one of the most fascinating models of its generation. The early R230 models in particular continue to impress with their timeless design, appearing remarkably modern despite being more than 20 years old.

The combination of its rare colour scheme, interesting ownership history and extensive refurbishment makes this SL 55 AMG a particularly appealing example for enthusiasts and collectors of classic AMG models.
