Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG Kompressor

The SL55 AMG Kompressor is the muscle-car end of the R230 SL range: a hand-built 5.5-litre supercharged V8 in a folding-hardtop roadster, with Active Body Control to keep it composed. This one was built in August 2006 and first registered in the UK in January 2007, so it is a facelift car.

It shows 43,065 miles from new across six previous owners. The colour is Iridium Silver metallic over black and anthracite leather, with carbon-fibre interior trim and 19-inch split-rim wheels. Equipment includes COMAND satellite navigation, multicontour massage seats with memory, bi-xenon headlamps, and front and rear parking sensors.

Servicing has been with marque specialists, with entries in 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023. The July 2023 visit included new upper and lower ball joints, plus all discs, pads and sensors. The car comes with its manuals, stamped service book, invoice file, V5C, spare wheel, tool kit and both keys.
