Item Overview

Description

The SLS AMG was the first Mercedes-Benz with gullwing doors since the famous 300 SLR (the legendary Uhlenhaut-Coupé) respectively the sensational 300 SL, built from 1954 to 1957. It is the first car designed from scratch by AMG. Each of the 6.2 litre V8 engine delivering 571 horsepower was assembled by hand by a single engineer at the AMG works in Affalterbach. The completed engine was adorned with a metal plaque engraved with the engineers name. Final assembly of the cars took place at the Mercedes-Benz works in Sindelfingen. The car was first presented at the IAA in September 2009 and from 27th March 2010 the first examples were delivered. For the then base price of 280’000 Swiss francs, the owner received a sports car with a 7-speed AMG speedshift twin clutch gearbox, leather interior, air condition, multimedia system, navigation and further features which can be expected in a car of this class. By choosing every available option the final price could easily be brought up by another 100’000 Swiss francs. Our example, with its chassis number 1635 in the special colour “Monza Grey Magno” and with the optional brown leather interior is a Swiss delivery and was handed over to the lucky first owner on the 16th June 2010 through the garage Inter-Auto SA in Aigle. The owner, a sprightly 84 year old gentleman and still a great car-nut at heart, ordered the car in March of the same year after taking part in an AMG special experience presentation of the model in Le Castelet. Up to his passing, at the end of 2020, he occasionally used his cherished Gullwing on special occasions and only covered around 9’300 kilometres with it. In 2021 the sportster was taken over by the vendor and added to his collection. To improve the racy appearance, he had a set of black painted AMG 10-spoke design rims installed but the original 7-spoke rims are available and may be picked up by the buyer in Toffen. Due to lack of time, the SLS was driven only little and now has covered a mere 13’000 kilometres. The most recent servicing was completed in November 2023 at 12’974 kilometres. This beautiful SLS, with two owners only, today presents itself in very good and well-maintained condition and will be sold with both keys, a complete document folder and a service history as well as the last MOT from December 2024.
Deutsch: Der SLS AMG war der erste Mercedes-Benz mit Flügeltüren seit dem 300 SLR (Uhlenhaut-Coupé) bzw. dem 300 SL, der von 1954 bis 1957 gebaut wurde und den Ruf des Unternehmens entscheidend prägte. Es handelte sich um das erste von AMG eigenständig entwickelte Fahrzeug. Jeder 571 PS leistende 6.2-Liter V8 Motor wurde von einem einzelnen Facharbeiter im AMG-Werk in Affalterbach von Hand zusammengebaut und durch eine Plakette mit gravierter Unterschrift bestätigt. Montiert wurde der Wagen im Mercedes-Benz Werk in Sindelfingen. Präsentiert wurde der SLS erstmals im September 2009 auf der IAA und gelangte am 27. März 2010 in den Handel. Für den damals aufgerufene Grundpreis von CHF 280‘000.- erhielt man einen Sportwagen mit 7-Gang AMG Speedshift Doppelkupplungs-Getriebe, Leder, Klimaanlage, Multimedia-System, Navigation und weiteren klassenüblichen Features. Durch Ankreuzen aller möglichen Optionen liess sich der Preis jedoch auch um CHF 100‘000.- erhöhen. Unser Exemplar mit Chassis #1635 in der Sonderfarbe «Monza Grau Magno» mit optionaler brauner Lederausstattung stammt aus Schweizer Auslieferung und wurde am 16. Juni 2010 durch die Garage Inter-Auto SA in Aigle an den glücklichen Erstbesitzer übergeben. Dieser – damals bereits 84 Jahre alt und immer noch ein Autonarr - hatte den Wagen im März des Jahres nach der Teilnahme an der AMG Special Experience Präsentation des Modelles in Le Castelet, welche in begeisterte, bestellt. Bis zu seinem Tod Ende 2020 nutzte er seinen geliebten Flügeltürer gelegentlich für besondere Anlässe und legte daher nur rund 9‘300 Kilometer damit zurück. 2021 wurde der Bolide vom Einlieferer übernommen und in dessen Sammlung integriert. Für die sportlichere Optik liess dieser einen Satz originaler, schwarz lackierter, AMG Felgen im 10-Speichen Design montieren, die bei Auslieferung montierten 7-Speichen Felgen sind jedoch vorhanden und können von einem Käufer in Toffen abgeholt werden. Aus Zeitgründen wurde der SLS nur wenig gefahren und hat nun gerade einmal 13‘000 Kilometer auf der Uhr. Der letzte Service erfolgte im November 2023 bei 12‘974 Kilometern. Dieser schöne SLS aus Zweitbesitz präsentiert sich heute in sehr gutem und gepflegtem Zustand und wird mit beiden Schlüsseln, kompletter Bordmappe und Servicehistorie sowie der letzten MFK im Dezember 2024 übergeben.
Français: La SLS AMG est la première Mercedes-Benz dotée de portes papillon depuis la célèbre 300 SLR (la légendaire Uhlenhaut-Coupé) ou la sensationnelle 300 SL, construite de 1954 à 1957. C‘est la première voiture conçue de A à Z par AMG. Chacun des moteurs V8 de 6.2 litres développant 571 chevaux a été assemblé à la main par un seul ingénieur à l‘usine AMG d‘Affalterbach. Le moteur terminé était orné d‘une plaque métallique gravée du nom de l‘ingénieur. L‘assemblage final des voitures a eu lieu à l‘usine Mercedes-Benz de Sindelfingen. La voiture a été présentée pour la première fois à l‘IAA en septembre 2009 et les premiers exemplaires ont été livrés à partir du 27 mars 2010. Pour le prix de base de 280‘000 francs suisses, le propriétaire recevait une voiture de sport équipée d‘une boîte de vitesses à double embrayage AMG Speedshift à 7 rapports, d‘un intérieur en cuir, de l‘air conditionné, d‘un système multimédia, d‘un système de navigation et d‘autres caractéristiques que l‘on peut attendre d‘une voiture de cette catégorie. En choisissant toutes les options disponibles, le prix final pourrait facilement être augmenté de 100‘000 francs suisses. Notre exemple, avec son numéro de châssis 1635 dans la couleur spéciale «Monza Grey Magno» et avec l‘intérieur en cuir marron en option, est une livraison suisse et a été remis à l‘heureux premier propriétaire le 16 juin 2010 par l‘intermédiaire du garage Inter-Auto SA à Aigle. Le propriétaire, un homme de 84 ans à l‘allure alerte et toujours passionné de voitures, avait commandé la voiture en mars de la même année après avoir participé à une présentation du modèle AMG au Castelet. Jusqu‘à son décès, fin 2020, il n‘a utilisé sa chère Gullwing que pour des occasions spéciales et n‘a parcouru qu‘environ 9‘300 kilomètres avec elle. En 2021, le Sportster est repris par le vendeur et rejoint sa collection. Pour améliorer l‘aspect racé, il a fait installer un jeu de jantes AMG à 10 branches peintes en noir, mais les jantes d‘origine à 7 branches sont disponibles et peuvent être récupérées par l‘acheteur à Toffen. Par manque de temps, la SLS n‘a été que très peu conduite et n‘a parcouru que 13‘000 kilomètres. Le dernier service a été effectué en novembre 2023 à 12‘974 kilomètres. Cette belle SLS, avec deux propriétaires seulement, se présente aujourd‘hui en très bon état et bien entretenue et sera vendue avec les deux clés, un dossier documentaire complet et un historique des services ainsi que la dernière expertise datant de décembre 2024.
