Please Wait For All Pictures To Load!

This fantastic SL550 was purchased in 2007 by a dear friend of mine with about three thousand miles on it (Mercedes-Benz factory rep car from new). Due to unforseen circumstances on her end, the car came in to me as a trade last month. I don't usually deal in late model sports and exotics, but my personal connection to the car from almost new and knowing the level of care that this car has always seen made it easy for me to help her out with a suitable replacement.

As you can tell from all of my photos, this car did not lack for care and attention throughout its life - it spent very few nights outside a very tight southeastern US garage and only then when it was out on a long road trip up and down the east coast. It was almost always dealer serviced apart from a couple sets of Michelins and a handful of oil changes. Most recently, it received new motor mounts and a full brake job at the Augusta, GA dealership - a complete file of service records detailing all work comes with the car.

The car wears all of its original paint save for a complete rear bumper respray when it was new and a complete front bumper repair and respray just weeks ago in one of my restoration shops - the bumper was removed, parking lot scrapes underneath (necessitating the repair) were correctly fixed and the bumper refitted.

You only see flash glare here and below, no damage, sorry for these glints of light.

All panel gaps are perfect as you would expect, the convertible top and electronic open/close trunk lid works perfectly as well.

You will note my PA dealer plate - yes, I reside in Richmond, VA but have an arrangement with a PA dealer friend of mine - as I do not need a dealer lot for the majority of my business I have a license with him instead. See all the way at the bottom for the complete explanation.

The inside of the trunk compartment is perfect, the protective shelf keeps excess load from impeding the closing of the trunk lid or convertible roof. The custom-made windshield sun shade is also included with the car.

You can see the flaps for the tonneau cover for when the top is open inside the deck lid.

As is becoming clear, this is not your average SL550!

There are no door dings or other imperfections in the bodywork, either. We just sent the car out for a full detailing inside and out and it cleans up like a one-year-old car.

Now, let's do a walk-around with the top down!

The real lines of this car emerge with its fully disappearing retractable hardtop.

The windscreen at the rear of the passenger compartment folds down manually but is a great help at speed if you believe a convertible should be driven top-down at all times (as long as weather permits)!

Close-up of the windscreen.

Putting the top back up for a moment, note the panoramic glass roof and the tinted back window, a great look.

From the inside with the sunshades pulled.

The beautiful view out if you just don't want the wind in your hair that day!

The original Bi-Xenon headlamps are chip, fade and fog free!

These have NOT been replaced!

All four original AMG 18" alloys are straight with nearly new Michelin Z rated rubber - I just perfected the balance on all four on a Hunter Road Force balancer. Note the new brake rotors and pads all the way around done last year along with a full system fluid flush.

The right front rim has a small scuff on it from a tire changer, but no curb rash.

Putting the top back down, let's take a serious look inside...

The car's desirable options include the extra wood trim, heated and cooled full power memory seats, BOSE audio with Mercedes-Benz COMAND Navigation and much more - a great set of creature comforts.

The seats are perfect on both sides, a testament to careful lady ownership!

In addition to heating and cooling, this switch on both seats allows for adjustable bolstering, lumbar support and massage!

The dashboard and center console are perfect with little to no fading to wood, leather and other materials.

Close-up here of the switchgear including the AMG Active Body Control Sport button, the ride height button, mirror controls, convertible top control, climate control and the Keyless Start button on the shifter - you can but do not have to put the key in the ignition slot - just leave it in your pocket.

Navigation and climate control on!

In the center armrest, the latest Mercedes Bluetooth "puck" compatible with all current Android and iPhones, this integrates with the COMAND system.

The steering wheel also has paddle shifters, controls for audio, phone and the display on the instruments.

Present mileage as of today, mileage may go up slightly during the listing at my discretion.

Close-up of the steering wheel, it's immaculate.

Just lovely in one side and out the other!

The original door jamb stickers are clearly all present!

This factory CD changer is in the cubby behind the driver's seat.

The owners manual (and the cover for the Bluetooth adapter in the armrest!) are behind the passenger's seat.

The entire original owners packet is with the car, complete with the original...

Window Sticker!

$109,185 new!

Both original keys just got new batteries.

This car also comes with this rare factory accessory fitted luggage bag that fits over the "hump" and uses the retracting straps in the rear panel. Really a neat piece!

Driver's door panel is just as nice as the passenger's side!

The overhead console has the Homelink garage door opener in the electrochromatic rear view mirror, dome lamps and the microphone for the Bluetooth phone.

Under the hood, the immaculate engine compartment with the gorgeous 5.5 litre V8 engine.

Both starting and main batteries were also replaced recently, genuine MB, of course.

Truly a well-serviced car!

F1 title fight gets closer | 2016 US Grand Prix recap

Mon, Oct 24 2016

We ran into an old friend at the US Grand Prix: an on-form Lewis Hamilton. Reliability and proper clutch actuation helped the Mercedes-AMG Petronas driver resurrect the kind of performance we haven't seen since July at the German Grand Prix. After demolishing the previous qualifying record around the Circuit of the Americas, he put the field in his mirrors as soon as the lights went out, was never bothered by anyone behind, and crossed the finish line 4.5 seconds ahead of teammate Nico Rosberg. The drive was exactly what Hamilton needed to keep his molecule-thin Championship hopes alive. Rosberg, however, did exactly what he needed to do as well by finishing second. The German had a sketchier path to the checkered flag than Hamilton, getting pushed back to the third at the start by Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo. Worse, Ricciardo appeared to have the pace to keep Hamilton honest ahead and hold Rosberg behind. Red Bull and Mercedes matched one another's pit stops, and it was clear the German would need more help to pass the Aussie. Rosberg didn't have to make his own luck, Ricciardo's teammate Max Verstappen made the luck for him. Ricciardo pitted on Lap 26, ceding second position on track to Rosberg. On Lap 30, Verstappen's gearbox failed while headed down the back straight. The Dutch teenager said the team told him to try to get the car back to the pits, so he dawdled through a few corners before following more team orders to pull over and park. Verstappen's parking spot and bad gearbox meant marshals couldn't push the car off the track, they needed to use a crane. That brought out a Virtual Safety Car, slowing the whole race down and allowing Rosberg to run a longer stint while losing less time on old tires. When the German came in for new tires on Lap 31 he emerged ahead of Ricciardo, and they ran that way to the end of the race, much to Ricciardo's disappointment. Sebastian Vettel claimed fourth for Ferrari, a placing perhaps due only to Verstappen and Kimi Raikkonen retiring from the race. An otherwise anonymous weekend for the scuderia called attention to itself on race day when Raikkonen had to call it a day after a botched pit stop, and Vettel couldn't make any impression on the teams ahead. Fernando Alonso rode home to a brilliant fifth for McLaren. During the first stint while rummaging around outside the top ten, the Spaniard complained about his lack of pace. By Lap 15 Alonso was tenth, on Lap 34 he was eighth.

Sunday Drive: From a mid-engine 'Vette to a restomod RV

Sun, Jan 7 2018

Automotive enthusiasts are a diverse bunch. As proof, we present last week's top posts on Autoblog, starting with some really good spy photos of the upcoming mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette. Will it be sold alongside a classic front-engine 'Vette? We have no idea, but we can't wait to find out. Up next is a pickup truck. Can't get much further from a supercar, right? At least both the Corvette and the 2019 Ram 1500 – which will debut a radical new design that appears to eschew the mini big-rig look of past Rams in favor of something more refined – are both American. Decidedly not American? The Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV. The boxy off-road 'ute looks a heck of a lot like the old one, which is probably a good thing, but we know it'll be fancier and more luxurious than ever before. Check out the leaked images below. Also hailing from Germany, but sharing absolutely nothing else in common at all, is the Audi A4 Allroad. We've been driving this all-wheel-drive wagon for a while now, and we like it quite a bit. And, last but not least, is a 1959 bus that's been converted into an RV. Like we said, y'all certainly are a diverse bunch.
