This 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL55 is one of 65 units produced by AMG from 1998 to 2001. AMG-specific equipment includes the 5.4-liter M113 V8, exhaust system, modified differential, suspension kit, lower bodywork, and 18″ Monoblock wheels. It spent time in Japan before it was imported in 2019 to Germany, where it was subsequently purchased by the current owner. The body is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic and equipment includes a five-speed automatic transmission, a removable hardtop with a panoramic glass roof, a black convertible soft top, xenon headlights, heated power-adjustable front seats, carbon-fiber trim, a CD stereo, and automatic climate control. This R129 SL55 AMG has 78k kilometers (~48k miles) and is now offered in Germany by the seller on behalf of the owner with the owner’s manual, service records, a hardtop stand and cover, an AMG certificate of authenticity, and German registration in the owner’s name.

The car is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) and features a black convertible soft top as well as a matching removable hardtop with a panoramic glass roof. Additional exterior equipment includes xenon headlights with washers, fog lights, power-folding mirrors, AMG exhaust outlets, and AMG bumper covers and side skirts. A prior auction noted repairs in the left-rear quarter as well as evidence of repainting both rear quarters, the trunk lid, the pillars, and the left-front fender. The seller notes that the left door was also replaced, and the front and rear bumper covers were resprayed in August 2022 and a soft top hydraulic line was replaced in July 2021.

AMG 18″ Monoblock alloy wheels are mounted with Dunlop SportMaxx tires. The car is equipped with an AMG-tuned sport suspension and Electronic Stability Program (ESP). Braking is handled by four-wheel disc brakes with ABS. The left tie rod was replaced in July 2021

The seating surfaces are upholstered in black leather while matching leather extends to the dashboard, center console, A-pillars, and door panels. Amenities include heated power-adjustable front seats with position memory as well as carbon-fiber trim, AMG-branded door sills, a CD stereo, cruise control, a wind deflector, and automatic climate control. The central door-locking vacuum pump was replaced in June 2020.

The carbon-trimmed steering wheel frames a 300-km/h speedometer and a tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline as well as an analog clock and auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer indicates 78k kilometers (~48k miles), approximately 10k of which were added under current ownership.

The AMG-tuned 5.4-liter M113 V8 was factory rated at 354 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission and a modified rear differential with a 2.82:1 gear ratio. The car is equipped with an AMG exhaust system.

The vehicle is being sold on its German registration, which serves as an ownership document in Germany.
