2002 MERCEDES-BENZ SL

A superb, well‑sorted Mercedes SL55 AMG in rare Tanzanite Blue Metallic (359) with two‑tone grey leather.

Registered 18/10/2002 (“52”), 86,450 miles, with 3 keys and a new MOT @ 86,270 to Feb 2027 (no advisories).

Over £6,500 has been spent in the last few months on servicing and preventative maintenance, addressing the age‑related items that most SL55s still need.

If you’re looking for a sorted R230 rather than a cheap project, this is the right car.
