• Substantial service history
• Special order Amber Red Pearl Metallic paintwork
• Only 58,000 Miles 

First launched in the UK in late 1996 the SLK was given more powerful engines in the year 2000 offering both a 2.0 and 2.3 litre, supercharged engine. 

The handling was also sharpened up, the fuel tank enlarged and the bumpers, grille and side mouldings all restyled. Both were offered with a six-speed manual gearbox or 5-speed automatic.

The SLK was a very well equipped and capable luxury small sports car that found immediate favour with a younger Mercedes driver and, it delivered the advantages and pleasures of both coupe and open top motoring with a press of a button. 

This is a 3-owner car from new with the last lady owner owning the car since 2008. It is finished in special order Amber Red Pearl Metallic with Charcoal and Siam Beige two-tone interior with Eucalyptus Wood Inlays.

With an already impressive list of standard equipment this car comes with highly polished alloys, heated screen wash, high output battery, adjustable steering column, front and rear speakers and an upgraded sound system.

The service history is substantial with 11 stamps in the service book, mostly from Mercedes Main Dealers, with its most recent service being done only 25 miles ago.

The V5 is present and there are 2 sets of keys and the original set of Owner’s handbooks.

Within this car’s documented history there are many MOT certificates and numerous receipts covering various works done through the years.

The special order interior is superb and in great all round condition with hardly any signs of wear anywhere in the whole cockpit and the sports steering wheel looks like a great place to sit in front of.

The seats, carpets, door cards and all the wood inlays are all clean and bright and the over-mats are in similarly fine condition.

The special order paint colour is in excellent overall condition and, apart from a couple of the inevitable stone-chips and some touched-up chips on the boot-lid and the passenger door, it is hard to find fault with.

The bumpers look good and free from any visible scuffs, and the highly polished alloy wheels are happily mostly free from any serious kerbing marks or scratches.

Take a look at the pictures of the engine bay. It would be difficult to find anything amiss under that bonnet and the significant service history should reassure any potential bidder that there is little or nothing to do with this car except drive it and enjoy it.

The Mercedes SLK has aged well, hiding its ‘classic’ status and not looking out of place amongst more modern and recent cars.

As a small supercharged two-seater sports car with all the luxury, equipment and style you could wish for, the Mercedes SLK really does make a lot of sense and would be a very easy car to live with and drive on a daily basis.
