The Appeal
The R171 SLK didn’t mess with a winning formula, instead adding some of the aesthetic drama of the SLR McLaren to create a versatile coupe/convertible that was as much mini GT as sports car.
With 300bhp on tap the SLK350 has the performance to match the looks. This Palladium Silver metallic 2010 car must be one of the least used and best preserved available. The high specification includes black Nappa premium leather, Airscarf system and factory COMAND unit. It has been with the current keeper since 18 months old and has covered just 20,091 miles from new.
As you would expect, the condition is impressive. There are a couple of very minor points to note outside but this is a car that wears its 15 years exceptionally lightly.
Despite the sparing use the car has been serviced annually irrespective of mileage. The result is a large history file that can be checked in the photos. The MOT runs to November 2025 with no advisories.
The vendor says:
“The sophisticated choice with silky smooth engine, all the toys (electric heated memory seats, air scarf, wind deflector). A car of multiple characters, roof up or down, sensible and fun at the same time.”
