At a time when the price of a standard Mercedes-Benz SL 600 was just 5% less than a Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit, it is unsurprising that the SL70 always was an extremely rare car; the engine upgrade alone cost roughly the equivalent of €50.000.
Nevertheless, the reward was staggering: a hand-built 7.0-litre AMG-tuned version of the exquisite M120 V-12 engine, producing a supercar-slaying 500 bhp.
This SL70 was delivered to Japan in June 1998 and in addition to the engine upgrade, features every AMG option offered for the R129 SL600, including: carbon fibre interior trim, a colour-coded body kit, smaller steering wheel, split-rim alloy wheels, xenon headlights, and a sports exhaust system.
Specified in ‘Triple Black’, it oozes menace and potency.
Imported from Japan to Switzerland by the consignor in 2016, it presents very well in largely original condition.
Quite simply, one of the ultimate AMG-tuned Mercedes-Benzes.
