Comments from the dealer
This October 2002built Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG (R230) is finished in Cubanite Silver Metallic over a Charcoal leather interior, presenting in an exceptionally original and well-preserved condition throughout. Complied in December 2002 and delivered new by Morrisons Mercedes-Benz of Artarmon in early 2003, this example remained with its original owner right through until late last year an increasingly rare level of long-term ownership for a modern AMG.
Widely regarded as one of AMGs most iconic creations, the R230 SL55 combines understated styling, hand-built supercharged V8 performance and genuine long-distance refinement in a way few modern performance cars can replicate. Powered by AMGs legendary hand-assembled 5.4-litre supercharged V8 engine, the SL55 produces 368kW and a remarkable 700Nm of torque, delivering effortless performance accompanied by one of the great V8 exhaust notes of the era.
Importantly, this SL55 benefits from an exceptional and fully documented Mercedes-Benz dealer service history from new through to 2025, reflecting meticulous ownership and uncompromising maintenance throughout its life. Servicing was initially completed by the supplying dealer, Morrisons Mercedes-Benz of Artarmon, before being maintained exclusively by respected Mercedes-Benz specialists G Brothers of Mona Vale, where an extraordinary 17 services were subsequently carried out. The most recent service was completed in June 2025 at 161,016 kilometres.
The vehicle rides on correct Pirelli P Zero tyres and is accompanied by its complete original factory literature including all owners manuals, log books, both original remote keys and the original emergency key cards items so often missing on R230 models today.
Factory equipment and highlights include:
o Hand-built AMG 5.4-litre supercharged V8 engine
o 5-speed AMG Speedshift automatic transmission
o ABC (Active Body Control) suspension
o Electric folding hardtop roof
o Heated and electrically adjustable memory seats
o COMAND infotainment system
o Bose premium sound system
o Dual-zone climate control
o Xenon headlights
o Keyless entry and start
o Front and rear parking sensors
o AMG body styling package and AMG alloy wheels
The R230 SL55 AMG has increasingly become recognised as one of the great modern AMG models, offering a unique combination of analogue supercharged performance, luxury touring comfort and timeless design. Finding examples with genuine single ownership, complete documented servicing and this level of originality has become exceptionally difficult.
This beautifully presented Australian-delivered SL55 AMG represents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a highly original and meticulously maintained example of one of Mercedes-AMGs most celebrated modern classics. NSW registration is valid until December 2026.
