2002 mercedes-benz sl r230 55 amg 5 sp automatic touchshift 2d convertible

This October 2002–built Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG (R230) is finished in Cubanite Silver Metallic over a Charcoal leather interior, presenting in an exceptionally original and well-preserved condition throughout. Complied in December 2002 and delivered new by Morrisons Mercedes-Benz of Artarmon in early 2003, this example remained with its original owner right through until late last year — an increasingly rare level of long-term ownership for a modern AMG.

Widely regarded as one of AMG’s most iconic creations, the R230 SL55 combines understated styling, hand-built supercharged V8 performance and genuine long-distance refinement in a way few modern performance cars can replicate. Powered by AMG’s legendary hand-assembled 5.4-litre supercharged V8 engine, the SL55 produces 368kW and a remarkable 700Nm of torque, delivering effortless performance accompanied by one of the great V8 exhaust notes of the era.

Importantly, this SL55 benefits from an exceptional and fully documented Mercedes-Benz dealer service history from new through to 2025, reflecting meticulous ownership and uncompromising maintenance throughout its life. Servicing was initially completed by the supplying dealer, Morrisons Mercedes-Benz of Artarmon, before being maintained exclusively by respected Mercedes-Benz specialists G Brothers of Mona Vale, where an extraordinary 17 services were subsequently carried out. The most recent service was completed in June 2025 at 161,016 kilometres.

The vehicle rides on correct Pirelli P Zero tyres and is accompanied by its complete original factory literature including all owner’s manuals, log books, both original remote keys and the original emergency key cards — items so often missing on R230 models today.
