Now, these are rare...

Ok, it's all the money, and a bit more, but the mileage is good, and the colour is stunning. Interior a bit light for a mucky pup like me, but overall I like. Just up the road from me, and I know the owner of the business. If anyone wants me to check it out, just ask. Go on. Please!

I think you should test drive it and let us know what it’s like. Lol.

oh and some more pictures if possible lol

1600 miles! Wow, stunning car but I’m not into cars which you’d not want to use for fear of de valuing

 

[A.J.]

Have I missed something ??. How old is it, not that it would make much difference to it. You would still be in for a sizeable cash-ectomy if you used it as a daily driver

 

[Uncle Benz]

If memory serves these were about £110,000 new, so the speculator owner caught a bath with it.

 

[EmilysDad]

£60k for a 15/16 year old car, irrespective of mileage, seems a tad expensive to me! And as John L above says. you'd be frightened of driving it.

 

[McDonald]

What a stunning car. You'd drive it for a long time before it reached average milage. Surely an appreciating asset going forward. And anyway, just think of the joy as you draw away from the showroom.

 

[Uncle Benz]

A difficult call. You could be in a nearly new S Class convertible for just a little bit more. Put on the spot I'd probably pick the SL!

[fabes]

Is that disease coming back again

Lovely car. I wonder how you keep the brake discs from rusting over 16 years of inactivity?

Keep changing them ?

 

[peterws1957]

Lovely car but the usual nonsense dealer price. You could use it and run up average miles and then take a minimum bath of £40k when you come to sell. Probably end up in the collection of someone who doesn't care what these things cost.

 

[S500 Pete]

With mileage that low it probably needs a good Italian tune up.

I would like to offer my services

Discs on my Merc rust over night

 

[JBell]

Lovely car, terrible colour scheme and not a £60k car.

If I owned it I would have to drive it (probably like I stole it), hate the thought of these cars being sat in a garage with a charger plugged in all the time, massive waste

I think the proper 'F1' models are a bit collectable, aren't they? I know someone who is a bit of a collector who hangs on to one.

 

[grayb]

From Evo magazine:
Other than a few subtle modifications to attend to some early problems, the SL55 continued unchanged until 2005.

The F1 pack became available as an £8500 option that year, and a car so equipped is worth seeking out. The pack includes AMG ‘Type-4’ wheels (19in as opposed to the standard 18-inchers), a different front apron, an extra oil cooler, uprated ‘Nürburgring’ sports suspension and a revised braking system. The speed limiter was also raised from 250 to 300kph (186mph).
