SB's Take

Fabulous combination of being perfectly refined yet capable of making the hairs on the back of your neck stand up
5.4 litre V8 coupled to a 7-speed automatic
355bhp at just 5750rpm and oodles of torque - 375lb ft @ 4000rpm

Equipped with a 5.4 litre V8 that produces 355hp coupled to a 7-speed automatic transmission, the stylish Mercedes Benz (R171) SLK55 AMG roadster should be placed at the top of anyone's list for a thrilling, open-top, driving experience. With the 0-60mph dash taking just 4.9 seconds, the SLK55 and its 375lb ft of torque is sure to leave a smile on your face. The incredible performance is courtesy of not only the beautifully sonorous V8 but also its variable steering ratio that allows you to hoon around bends with just flick-of-the-wrist inputs. This particular SLK55 AMG has had 5 former owners and an excellent service file. The cherished Reg plate MD08SLK is included in the sale. The Reserve price has been set attractively - buyers should bid with confidence.
