The Mercedes Benz SL was first produced as a race car giving it a rich heritage. Later made into a road-legal version, the first generation SL gained huge success, especially in the states and Mercedes went on to make seven generations. Each iteration was unique and had its own appeal and our subject car belongs to the 5th generation. This is a stunning 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG that has been diligently maintained and is packed with memories spanning 105,000 miles.
The 5th generation SL was engineered as a grand tourer, with a long hood, wide arches, and ample space for luggage. This example, being an SL 55 AMG, is outfitted with sporty exterior touches as a part of the AMG Styling Pack such as aggressive bumpers, side skirts, and a spoiler. The beautiful lines and AMG kit are accentuated by the Tanzanite Blue Metallic paint job. The 5th generation SL was only available with a retractable metal hard top and the hydraulic cylinders have been replaced on this car for hassle-free operation. The upgraded front grille with one lateral bar instead of five modernizes the front end. The car sits on 19" AMG alloy wheels with new Falken tires on all four corners. Despite the mileage, the interior of this 2003 Mercedes Benz SL 55 AMG has been preserved beautifully with the grey leather that still looks fresh. The deep wood veneer and plastic trim frames the knobs and buttons to give the cabin a refined touch.
Popping the hood of this SL 55 AMG reveals its 5.5 liter supercharged M113 V8 that pushes out a respectable 493 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. This example is far from stock and has been treated to a K&N air filter and a smaller supercharger pulley to improve the performance of this big German V8. All services are up to date as well with oil and spark plugs being changed recently. This massive power plant is mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission which has been serviced recently. Belt wrap has been installed to prevent the belt from slipping under boosted performance. A recent break pad replacement ensures that this car maintains the stopping power it needs.

Selecting an Aston Martin as your next vehicle shows that you are a certain sort of person. The type that appreciates British design and sports car engineering, and most likely, a James Bond fan at heart too. This iconic British automaker has had a long association with Ian Fleming’s superspy, in film at least. In the books, Bond is a Bentley man, but when the films were being produced, Aston Martin became the selected vehicle of Mr. Bond. In fact, you can find Aston Martins in over half of the Bond films produced to date. Today’s Aston Martin of choice is a 2020 Aston Martin DB11 Volante from Fort Myers, Florida. The DB11 debuted 2016 and was made until 2023, in coupe and convertible (Volante) forms. This particular example packs a twin-turbo V8 and just under 6,100 miles on the clock.
