Boys looking for the new one. SLS AMG 2011 onwards. Designo magno alanite grey is the colour I want. Happy with tan or red interior. Budget around 200k cash. PM me.

NOT looking for the roadster, I want the proper gullwing doors.

SLS AMG reference

This is the one im after. Doesn't have to be silver, any colour really. But proper gullwing.

Johnny. With respect - SLS AMG coupe starts at $750k in this market for a clean low-km example. Some people are asking over $1M+. The Black Series is significantly more for the right car.

$200k buys you a wrecked one from Manheim auction at best. There were exactly 17 SLS AMGs delivered new in Australia through Mercedes-Benz Australia/Pacific between 2010 and 2014 (sources: Glass's Guide AU classic & exotic supplement, March 2019). Of those, 14 are accounted for in dedicated collections, 2 were re-exported by their original owners, and 1 was written off on Hume Highway in 2018.

The probability of one appearing for sale at $200k is approximately zero. The probability of one being offered to you by a stranger via PM and not being a scam is also approximately zero.

Have you considered the AMG GT instead? Same designer (Wagener), gullwing-adjacent profile, $150-200k range for a 2017+ GT in clean condition.

Hugo the dollar is strong. And my cousin in Dubai can ship one.

Also the AMG GT is FWD im pretty sure. SLS is RWD. There's a difference mate.

I have.I can build you a gullwing for 200k cash.I have a 1998 SLK170 i can combine with R107 doors that swap to gullwing with custom hinges from the Pantera. Once you cut the A-pillar and reinforce the rocker the SLS look comes naturally.I work at Geo and Jim's restorations as a kid we did wood sets using fiberglass resin not 2 stage paint.M156 V8 is the SLS motor but a supercharged M111 from a Kompressor will give you 350hp same drive feel.

I am looking for a build.PM me.westsydneyrestorationsbuilds.on facebook

Johnny we have been thru the Dubai cousin before.

The Dubai cousin does not have an SLS.

The Dubai cousin works at a hotel.

Also the AMG GT is RWD with the same M178 V8 (twin-turbo 4.0) as derived from the SLS architecture (M159 NA 6.2). It is not FWD. There has never been a FWD AMG. The C 43 4MATIC is AWD-biased-rear. None of this is FWD.

Viktor - no. You are not cutting an SLK A-pillar to make a fake SLS. I would rather you bought the Pantera and lived in it.

Back when Steve was around we had a real Gullwing in the club. Proper 300SL '55. Bill Stamatakis kept it in a hangar at Bankstown airport from 78 to 91 then sold it to the Americans for next to nothing. That one's in a museum in Los Angeles now apparently.

Steve drove it once. That's what he told me.

They don't build em like this anymore. They don't KEEP em like this anymore either. Johnny you'll be in the same Toorak collection as the rest of them within 12 months.

If it has gullwings... yes... it is worth !!!

If not... you will see what i mean !!

200k is nothing for a SLS in Stuttgart. In Australia maybe. Try to import private from Belgium ist möglich but the LCT will kill you 33% over the threshold ja and you need a NCOP plate for the conversion. Friend of mine did this in 2016 for an S65 AMG ended up with 380k all in. He sold it 2 years later for 290k.

do not buy from Dubai. SLS in middle east lived in 50 degree summers. the M159 is air-cooled-oil-cooler-only the heads warp the bores wear out the supplementary cooler fails. You think you save you don't save.
