This:
Mercedes SL55 AMG 5.4 V8 Monster 620BHP! Alpine Sat-nav&Sound System-F1 Pack | eBay
Poor set of photographs, but having just had a chat with the owner (well, given him a good listening-to, really; he's mostly stuck on transmit - Italian I think, very very chatty, told me his current life story [almost stream of consciousness...], he comes across as very likeable and genuine, a car nut, especially fast cars, and has had lots, but not very mechanically knowledgeable) it sounds as though it's had most of the ABC system replaced and the roof seals done recently, and he's adamant that it drives perfectly.
He has the invoice for the remap, but only the previous owner's word for the 620 bhp; is that achievable with just a remap for an M113K? I rather doubt it, but it would be quite fast enough as stock anyway.
It's in my preferred colour combination, the mileage is reasonable, the MoT history suggests it has been looked after. I'd have to go and see (and hear - it sounds as though the exhaust is not stock either...) it, but assuming there are no horrors in the cold light of day, my main concern would be the effect those 20" wheels would have on the ride.
He needs to sell it to raise money, but I don't think it will get anywhere near his Buy It Now; I'd guess it will bid to about 11K.
Gentlemen, what do you think?
