2007 Mercedes-Benz SL550 50th Anniversary Edition – 11k Miles in Pewter Metallic
About this vehicle
Only 550 were built. To mark the half-century since the 300SL Roadster's debut, Mercedes-Benz produced the SL550 50th Anniversary Edition in exactly one exterior color — Pewter Metallic — over Cognac Brown Exclusive leather. Every car in the run wore those same two finishes, no exceptions. Per the NHTSA VIN decode, the powertrain is a 5.5L eight-cylinder paired with a 7-speed automatic feeding the rear axle through a 7G-Tronic unit.
Pewter Metallic (code 723) reads silver in direct sun and shifts toward a cool gray-green in shade — a finish that works particularly well against the R230's facelifted body. Up front, the revised fascia carries enlarged air inlets, chrome-rimmed fog lamps, and bi-xenon headlights with active cornering illumination. The 18" split-five-spoke alloys are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S rubber. Twin exhaust outlets bookend the rear valance. A clean CARFAX report accompanies the car.
The cabin's Cognac Brown leather covers the Active seats, which are both heated and ventilated. Black Ash wood trim runs across the dash and door cards, and the 50th Anniversary floor mats add a period-correct touch. Standard equipment includes Keyless Go, dual-zone climate control, COMAND navigation, a CD changer, and a Bose audio system. The leather-and-wood steering wheel sits ahead of a 160-mph speedometer and a matching tachometer.
Underneath, Mercedes' Active Body Control suspension keeps the body flat through corners. ESP stability control and ASR traction control round out the chassis electronics. The seller acquired this car in 2007 and has kept it to just around 11,000 miles since. Prior to the sale, a new battery was fitted and an oil change was performed.
A clean title transfers with the car. The odometer reads approximately 11k miles, and the location is Memphis, TN.
