A GREAT FIND, SUPPLIED NEW IN 1998 TO A GENTLEMEN FROM EALING IN WEST LONDON, THIS IS A TRULY STUNNING R170 SLK 230 KOMPRESSOR.

* PLEASE NOTE THE CAR IS NOW AVAILABLE TO VIEW AT OUR COLLEAGUES AT FAIRLANDS CAR SALES, LANGLEY VALE, SURREY. MORE IMAGES AND DETAILS ON AUTOTRADER AND THEIR WEBSITE.


REGULARLY SERVICED ALL IT'S LIFE AND THE CAR HAS WANTED FOR NOTHING. IT IS CLEARLY A CHERISHED AND LOVED CAR THAT THE OWNER ONLY SOLD TO US DUE TO HIS LOCATION WITHIN CENTRAL LONDON FALLING INSIDE THE ULEZ ZONE.
HAVING OWNED THIS CAR FOR SOME 25 YEARS IT WAS A VERY TOUGH DECISON TO SELL HIS BELOVED SLK. HOWEVER, HIS LOSS WILL BE THE NEW OWNERS GAIN, AS IT IS WITHOUT DOUBT ONE OF THE VERY BEST EXAMPLES OF THIS SMALL MERCEDES SPORTS CARS LEFT.

THE R170 MERCEDES SLK WAS THE FIRST GENERATION COMPACT ROADSTER PRODUCED BY MERCEDES BENZ, INITIALLY DESIGNED BY BRUNO STACCO THE DESIGN WAS FINISHED IN 1993 AND PRODUCTION SPANNED FROM 1995-2004 WITH A FACELIFT MODEL IN 2000. IT WAS LAUNCHED AT THE TURIN MOTOR SHOW ON THE 22ND OF APRIL 1996 WHERE ITWAS MARKETED AS A "MODERN INCARNATION" OF THE 1950'S CLASSIC, THE 190SL.

THIS CAR WAS ORIGINALLY SPEC'D WITH BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR AND AIR CONDITIONING AND THE CAR LOOKS FANTSASTIC IN IT'S ORIGINAL UN-MARKED "GREEN BLACK METALLIC", ( PAINT CODE 189U ).
IT'S ONE OF THE RARER COLOURS YOU WILL FIND IN THE SLK MARKET, AS MOST SLK'S OF THIS ERA SEEM TO BE SILVER, THE OWNER HAS ALSO HAD THE ORIGINAL ALLOY WHEELS PROFESSIONALLY RE-FINISHED, FITTED WITH PREMIUM BRAND TYRES,
THE CAR, AS ONE WOULD EXPECT WITHTHIS PROVENENCE, COMES WITH ALL THE HANDBOOKS, A FULLY STAMPED SERVICE BOOK, BOTH KEYS AND A THICK FILE OF INVOICES FOR ALL THE WORK COMPLETED ON THE CAR OVER THE 25 YEARS THE GENTLEMEN HAS OWNED THIS CAR.

THE R170 MERCEDES HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLE VALUE FOR MONEY, HOWEVER RECENTLY VALUES ARE STARTING TO APPRECIATE.
WHILST IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LOW MILEAGE CARED FOR EXAMPLES, THEY ARE FETCHING A PREMIUM NOW. MOST SLK'S OF THIS ERA ARE NEARLY ALL VERY HIGH MILEAGEAND TATTY EXAMPLES WITH NUMEROUS OWNERS AND CAN HAVE SERIOUS CORROSION ISSUES THAT CAN BE EXPENSIVE TO RECTIFY.
THIS CAR IS WITHOUT DOUBT ONE OF THE VERY BEST EXAMPLES LEFT AND WILL NO DOUBT GIVE GREAT PLEASURE TO IT'S NEW OWNER.
