Very nice specimen- congrats! Can you give me the last 6 digits of your VIN? (PM me if you prefer). I maintain a register of R230s and P30s in particular and its nice to know where these cars live and who the owners are.
Based on my records, there were a total of 9 MY 2007 Mystic White P30s sold in the US. All came with the Exclusive Leather - Black/Anthracite (511A) interior and X27 Leather Designo Porcelain Single-Color option. I don't know which of the 9 is yours (hence the request for the last 6 of your VIN), but all 9 cars came with the same W64 Maple Grain Designo Natural Trim Pieces. Your photos show carbon fiber trim, so it may have been a dealer or post purchase change.
Yes I changed the interior trim to carbon fiber among a few other subtle tweaks.

So its the carbon fiber that makes it unique. I'm in Las Vegas so not too far from you. My 08 P30 was sold by W I Simonson in Santa Monica. I bought it in Phoenix in 2011, shipped it to Philadelphia, a year later I had it shipped back to LA and my daughter's house until we moved to Vegas and it has lived in the desert since then. It has done a number of LV-LA trips since then and effortlessly leaves pretty much everything on the road in its rear view mirror.
Hello All; Just today had an e-chat with Vlad, was told about this thread, and thought I'd come over and take a look. I added this 2007 SL55 P30 two years ago to my toys, bought it from a friend that found it on BaT two years earlier after looking for some time for a P30. After deciding to move to southern Florida he decided a black SL was a bit much so made me an offer I couldn't refuse and here I am.
Thanks Vlad! Tinted windows needed to not let the world see the stupid adolescent grin every time I drive it. Now maybe some extra sound insulation to cover the incessant giggling when I stick my foot in it. What an awesome car!
I had John at BentleyGrills make me the following pieces:
A cf and alcantara with red stitching steering wheel out of a brand new oe SL wheel, so I could keep the stock one
A keyless go shift **** with the AMG logo instead of ‘engine start / stop on the switch face, matching alcantara and red stitched boot
New center console and ashtray covers so all the weave would match
JB Speed’s cf trunk spoiler was also a perfect match
Welcome! From the photos, it looks like (548) Amber Red Metallic and it is a 2006 P30 with a black interior (please confirm datapoints). There were just 4 Amber Reds produced that year- One was sold in Germany and 3 went to the US. One of those has a gray interior and two have a black interior. I can't tell for sure if your interior is black or gray from the pics, but it is either a 1-of-1 or a 1-of-two in the US. Rare indeed!
