This left-hand-drive model started its life in Kuwait before being acquired by the consigning owner at RM Sotheby’s in 2019 at its London auction. It was then registered in the United Kingdom, and its most recent service was last year in March, when new boot struts were fitted, along with an oil change and a new filter.
For the person that can afford it – this Black Series is expected to fetch between £275,000 and £325,000 ($343,000-$405,000) – it’s an impeccable piece of AMG history and perhaps the most extreme SL ever.
