Handsome Iridium Silver paintwork over Black leather
Japanese import, now registered on UK plates
Mercedes-Benz main dealer service history from Yanase, Japan
MOT valid until July 2027
The Appeal
The R171-generation SLK280 pairs a smooth 3.0-litre V6 with a seven-speed automatic gearbox and Mercedes-Benz's clever folding hardtops. It's a luxuriant, handsome roadster practically purpose-built for the executive crowd, and a fitting continuation of the marque's remarkable Sports Leicht formula.
This example was sourced from Japan, where it was maintained through the Yanase dealer network - Mercedes-Benz's official Japanese distributor - and comes with a main dealer service history to support its recorded 10,830 miles. These Japanese imports are particularly desirable, thanks to the country's exacting maintenance standards and salt-free roads. Now registered on UK plates, it has been recently prepared for sale and, with an MOT in place until July 2027, is ready and waiting to be driven away.image.png2.18 MB
