Description
This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, Online Auction - 16th April on Thursday the 16th of April. Background:
Introduced in the late 1990s, the Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class represented a shift in the compact roadster market, combining everyday usability with open-top driving appeal. Central to its design was the innovative folding ‘Vario-Roof’, allowing the car to transform from coupé to convertible at the touch of a button.
The SLK 230 Kompressor formed a key part of the range, powered by a supercharged 2. 3-litre engine producing 197bhp. Offering strong mid-range performance and refined cruising ability, it delivered a well-balanced driving experience suited to both town and longer-distance use.
The Car:
First registered in November 2000, this SLK 230 Kompressor is equipped with the desirable manual gearbox and is powered by its original supercharged 2. 3-litre engine producing 197bhp.
Showing 95, 694 miles, the car has had six former keepers and been in current ownership since 2017.
It presents well in Iridium Silver metallic paintwork with a black leather interior, featuring electrically adjustable seats, and is described as being in good working order with the Vario retractable roof operating as intended. The underside has been treated with Waxoyl for preservation, and there are no known mechanical or electrical issues reported. There are some minor age-related paint blemishes as will be shown in the photographs. A new battery was fitted as part of a recent service.
It's supplied with its handbook and service book, which is stamped and up to date, and benefits from a current advisory-free MOT, valid until March 2027.
Offered without reserve, there can't be a more economical way to join the world of modern classic Mercedes top-down motoring.
