Vehicle Description
The Mercedes Benz SL55 AMG we have here at Skyway Classics is one
of those cars that has high praise from everybody who owns or
drives one. Take Jeremy Clarkson, from "Top Gear", for example.
He owned one of the very first SL55 AMG's made. He wrote in an
interview: "Because I am now middle aged I've swapped the Ferrari
for a Mercedes-Benz. The SL AMG is used as a safety car at Formula
One grands prix, and if you listen carefully when it's out on the
track you can actually hear it. A rumbling baritone backdrop to the
tenor and soprano F1 motors. It is a staggering noise, a bellow,
the sound of wanton consumption."
One of the sleekest features on this vehicle is the roof. Push a
button and 11 seconds later it's in the boot. So what we have here
is a 200mph automatic coup�. A wind-in-the-hair paddle-shift
convertible. A full-on, supercharged Tara Palmer Nascar that when
you're not in the mood becomes as quiet and as unobtrusive as Nell
McAndrew. And there are so many gadgets the handbook is 539 pages
long. Simon Schama got A History of Britain into less than
that.
I think it's one of the world's greatest cars. Better than the
Ferrari F355 that it replaces? No, not really, but let me put it
this way: I don't wince every time I get out of it." Great praise
indeed!
Features and options include three large cooling air intakes, fog
lamps with chrome surrounds, light-alloy wheels, soft leather
upholstery, high-quality metal door sills with Mercedes-Benz
lettering and embossed aluminum trim elements, removable luggage
cover, and don't forget, the convertible top!
