The Appeal

With the option of either top down or up motoring the Mercedes SLK is a great all year round car, and this one, fresh from its winter hibernation, is a particularly nice example, with 345 BHP on-tap available from the AMG 3.2 litre V6 supercharged engine. 

Only 263 SLK 32 AMGs were registered in the UK and, now with only 155 registered or declared SORN, this model is becoming a rare and sought-after modern classic.

Purchased by the current owner in 2019, the car was immediately fully serviced and inspected, it received a full re-spray in its original Brilliant Silver and the interior was re-trimmed after the seats were stripped down to repair the non-functioning heated seats.

Only used during the summer and carefully stored over the winter months this car is in excellent condition throughout and ready to be enjoyed by its next owner.

The Interior

 • Re-trimmed black and grey leather interior
 • Electric windows and electric roof
 • Cruise control
 • Air conditioning
 • Heated electric seats
 • Headlight washers
 • Auto heated and auto dimming mirrors
The black and grey, recently re-trimmed, leather interior is in superb condition throughout, with only a few light signs of use over the years, mainly on the black leather seat bolsters.

Unique to this model, the Bird’s Eye Maple wood veneers are all in excellent condition, with all the switchgear, instruments and electric roof mechanism working correctly.

The Exterior

 • Brilliant Silver Metallic paintwork
 • AMG wheels with excellent tyres
 • AMG subtle body-kit
Fully resprayed in its original colour in 2019 the exterior of the car is presented in excellent condition, with only a stone chip on the roof, bonnet and a few on the front lower valance to highlight. The bodywork appears free from any dents, scratches or early signs of corrosion and all the window and door seals appear in very good shape.

The original five-spoke double-arm AMG wheels, all fitted with good tyres, are in fine condition too with no signs of any kerbing scuffs or scratches.

The Mechanics

 • Good MB service history
 • Next service due in 9,100 miles
In excellent all-round condition this SLK 32 is in very good mechanical shape too and it starts, runs and drives just like you’d expect it to, the only surprise being how fast it goes and what a great sound it makes.

The Summary

In very nice condition and having been well cared for throughout its life this rare SLK 32 AMG is going to make someone very happy and the demand for this model is only likely to increase in future years.

The safest way to buy a classic car online

About Max Bids

The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.

Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.

Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.

Auto-bidding increments

  • If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
  • If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
    • Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
    • We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Bid Amount Increment
£0 to £9,999 £100.00
£10,000 to £49,999 £250.00
£50,000 to £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

Automatically outbid immediately

When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.

You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.

Matching max bids

When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.

Pre-authorisation

We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.

What are pre-bids?

A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.

Problem with your bid

Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
