Equipment
7.3/520hp V-12, automatic, Panasonic CD stereo, AMG alloy wheels, Continental ContiSportContact tires, power windows, air conditioning, two tops.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
One of about 42 built by AMG with M-B’s 6-litre V-12 opened up to 7.3 litres. Broken right outside mirror. Lightly used upholstery. A clean used car showing about 35,000 km on the odometer and on the car.
Market commentary
With a vast $200K gap between the pre-sale low and high estimates it is apparent that RM had no idea what this SL73 AMG would bring but even their copious knowledge and experience was no match for the enthusiasm of the Miami bidders, hammering sold on a bid 22% over the pre-sale high estimate. It is a rare and marvelous example of cooperation between M-B and AMG and in very good condition considering its age and the occasional cloud of tire smoke its performance must have engendered. Expensive, but marvelous to behold.
