The owner was probably thinking the car is fitted with the optional 030 performance package. It does'nt seem to be the case according to the front bumper.

Absolutely, but the car you posted has the regular SL55 front bumper and not the "F1"/SL65 one

The picture is perfectly clear : you car DOES NOT have the Performance package... call it like you want , 030, F1.


The SL55 Pace car (Unique, only used in Formula one races ), SL65 and SL55 performance pack share the same front bumper, and you car doesn't have that bumper.

The vid posted by Marky shows a SL55 Performance package, wrongly called "Pace car" because the bodywork is inspired by the SL55 pace car, only one made.

You're right there are far more then 20 SL55 PP made.
