Highlights
- Long MOT with no advisories
- Only two previous owners
- Presented in good condition throughout
The Appeal
This turbocharged SLK 230 is a great looking car. The ‘brilliant Silver’ paintwork appears to have survived very well, ad the two-tone charcoal and blue interior is smart and presentable.
We’re sure this car will make a very practical addition to anyone’s garage, with its relatively low mileage and capable performance. The long MOT and recent expenditure will give its next owner confidence, too.

Summary
This Mercedes looks like the kind of car which has led a quiet life. With only 90,032 miles on the clock since the car was first registered 23 years ago, it should have plenty of life left in it. Cars of this era are beginning to be appreciated as worthy of being preserved and enjoyed, as they become more widely accepted as true classics.
