The Appeal
The V6-engined R170 is a compelling proposition - Mercedes' clever small, agile coupe/convertible with the 215bhp 3.2L engine from the bigger R129. This is a car that is both a sports car and a GT all in one.
This low keeper, low-mileage SLK320, finished in popular Brilliant Silver, is one of the nicest we’ve seen in a long while. It is a tastefully specified car that wears its 21 years lightly. The service history shows a run of regular main dealer and specialist servicing, and the MOT runs to September 2027 with no advisories.
A great example of this versatile weekend toy.

Hi, can you just clarify if the car has had no service history since 2020 bar one recent oil change and is that recorded? Thanks

SellerThe car has been serviced between 2020 and the current one in 2026 however I am awaiting for paperwork from the elderly owner. I haven’t listed as serviced between these dates incase it doesn’t materialise however he did confirm verbally to me that these have been done. That’s as transparent as I can be without physical invoices currently in my possession thanks Fraser
