The SL55 is one of the most beautiful cars on the road today... and seems to be also one of the most talked about AMG's to date... in only a few short months this section of the forums has already seen +5000 posts... as compared to other sections like the CL, SLK, and ML which have only seen hundreds or so...pretty amazing to me..... as it should be with such an amazing car.

Yes it seems to have changed everything in the high end cars with 500hp, super car looks, unbelievable styling, cool 16 sec convert roof and a price that is down right reasonable compared to other super cars. Lets see how other companies respond

Agree with you Paul, the SL55 is great value for money.

SL55 AMG
No I didn't, and of course, that number would appeal to S and CL owners as well. I've never been to an auction, too time consuming, it must be like watching paint dry until the number you're interested in and then you lose.

A bit like a computing project I once worked on where we said it consisted of "long periods of boredom (writing the code) punctuated by brief periods of disappointment (watching it crash)"...

It's easier to get them to call you - you regiuster and tell then which plates your are interested in and they call you a few minutes prior to their coming up. Then bid over the phone.

No good for dealers who are looking for any plate at the right price.

Damn. Didnt know this number was coming up otherwise I would have bid for it. I think £2100 is better value than over £5000 for SL52 AMG on a numbers website last time I looked (now sold).
