My cars - Monaco / French Riviera
Past to present, part 21.
In 2003 I got one of the first 55's with Performance Package ( I was waiting for it), but this car was a "one off" SL 55 ///AMG F1 Safety Car (original) with 600++ HP by ///AMG.
The car had among many things, a complete different exhaust system with racing catalytic converters. Talk about NASCAR sound, it was extreme....
My gearbox was modified with something called "AMG manual gear shift", meaning you could drive it into the limiter without the gearbox was changing it automatically for you. This car also had LSD (limited slip differential).
Chrome mirrors, chrome inlet surrounding the headlights and the front grill painted in silver (black standard). Car also had a small spoiler behind (see pics).
When I took delivery of the SL 55 ///AMG F1, I got chrome door pins with ///AMG logo and a ///AMG F1™ Safety Car front numberplate, as a small present the factory.
Pic taken at Mont Boron, Nice.
