Introduction
Jon Dixon
Presented in excellent condition, this SL 55 AMG is a great example of the marques sports convertible.
A step-change in the SL line with the introduction of the folding hard-top, and the AMG version fitted with a stonking 5.4L V8. Mercedes-Benz engineers claim that when unrestricted, the car could reach a top speed of 208MPH, perfect for those German Autobahns.
The 5.4L Kompressor V8 gives you plenty of power, whilst the whole experience is further enhanced with the automated metal folding roof for those sunny days. This example can be considered a low mileage one, about 50% of the average miles compared to others available on the market, and the engines on these cars are known to go on for miles and miles.
This auction listing was written from information supplied by Jon after visiting and photographing the vehicle.

RESERVE MET – on sale – good luck everyone – a great car.
Hi all – I’m on duty tonight. I’ll let you know when the reserve has been met. It’s very very near now. Don’t let this rare car get away!
Picture 106 shows a mark on the panel, is this actually a mark in the paintwork or a reflection, thanks
Hi Paul, pretty sure it is a reflection of a duck in the distance! You’ll see the location differs on the image after and before. Watch the video of that bit of the panel and you’ll see it much better; https://youtu.be/Mt1qfq8fyUY
I can confirm that it is a reflection.
just quick question why is it on q plate m
I have no idea.
Hi, is the ABC working ok without signs of any leaks. Is there any sign of water leaks into the boot? Is there any receipts showing any large cost elements. Thanks, Paul
Hydraulic functioning of ABC works correctly with no oil leaks. There is no evidence of the boot leaking previous to my ownership and has not leaked in my care. The car has been regularly serviced with no major parts needing replacement.

How is the Parrot Blue tooth installed, ie if it was removed would it leave any trace on the dashboard ?
The Parrot was installed when the car was purchased. All I can say is that it has been installed professionally and is mounted securely to the dash board.
Do you have a picture with the hood and is it in working order?
Cheers Paul
The roof is in perfect working order with all subsystems working as they should. When the roof is closed the rubber seals align properly resulting in minimal wind noise. Further pictures have been posted showing the roof in operation

The brake discs and pads been changed in your ownership?
No, not in my ownership. The discs are free of score marks with about 40% of the pads left. The car brakes as you would expect for a car of this quality.
