Here is a brief excerpt taken from the auction description:

While still in the employ of the BBC, and long before he drove tractors, herded sheeps and flogged his home-brew lager, Jeremy ‘love-him-or-loathe-him’ Clarkson bestowed one of his very rare 5-star reviews upon the SL55 AMG when it first broke cover.

In fact, he liked it so much he bought one in 2002 as a replacement for his Ferrari 355.

We have driven the car and can report back with the entirely unsurprising news that it has been built to the hilt by Gunther, Wolfgang and their mates; that it sets off like a furious warthog who’s just caught sight of his worst enemy; and that it does everything asked of it with levels of capability, confidence and competence that still thrill and surprise nearly 20 years after it left the factory.
