The Charm

The Mercedes-Benz SLK R170 revolutionised the convertible market in the late 1990s with its innovative folding metal roof, combining the safety and style of a two-door coupé with the freedom of open-top driving.

The 200 Kompressor variant offered an impressive balance of performance and refinement, its 2.0-litre supercharged engine delivering a lively 190 hp. This example is distinguished by its extraordinarily low mileage of just 38,400 km, fully certified and original.

Having been registered in Italy from the start and meticulously maintained throughout its life, this SLK is in a condition that belies its 28 years of age. Recent comprehensive maintenance, totalling over €2,500, ensures that this classic roadster is in good health.
