50th Anniversary Edition

Hello, first post here...

How many 50th Anniversary Editions were built? Some say 550 and others say 1000. I can't seem to find it in print anywhere? All I read is "limited quantities"


Thanks

According to Wikipedia: "In 2007, Mercedes created 75 limited-edition 50th Anniversary SL550s" (75?! Year 2007?! )

Wikipedia is a volunteer site .. don't expect much to be truthful or accurate on there.

haha

well I just picked one up...pretty weak offering for a 50th Anniversary if you ask me. I wish it was more than just an Interior color and bags I'll never use. There's not even a plaque on the car saying it's a 50th Anniversary or anything? But, as a car, so far I like it.

I took delivery of my 50th in April. And I love it, even if the changes are simply cosmetic. It's a beautiful car; especially the interior. And they are making just 550 of them.

Enjoy your car!

I agree it's a beautiful car.

My Dealer said 1000 were being made?
