Highlights
- Equipped with a number of factory options including AMG Sports Package, PARKTRONIC and Traffic Sign Assist
- 3.5-litre V6 producing a very respectable 306 horsepower
- Hard top convertible roof operates without fault
The Appeal
Inspired by the achingly pretty 190 SL, the R172 was launched in 2011 and proved itself to be a worthy successor to the late ‘50s roadster in both the looks and performance departments.
Here we have an SLK 350 AMG that is presented in very good original condition with fewer than 54,000 miles on the odometer. Powered by an athletic 3.5-litre V6, equipped with an electric folding hard top roof and specced with a raft of options, this Mercedes-Benz has a real sense of occasion about it.
