1999 MERCEDES-BENZ (R170) SLK 230 KOMPRESSOR

KEY FACTS

• A low mileage and original SLK in very smart condition.
• Power comes from the 2.3-litre supercharged inline-four engine producing around 190bhp and 207lb-ft of torque, coupled with the 5G-Tronic automatic transmission.
• Features the rare colour combination of black paintwork over a black and red interior.

EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

• The SLK’s most familiar feature is the neat folding metal roof, which gives the roadster coupe-like solidity and security when raised.
• This car is equipped with power seats and windows, dual-zone climate control, and a heated rear screen. An aftermarket Kenwood head unit with Bluetooth capability has been fitted to the car.
• Sold with its full complement of factory books and service history as well as three keys, including the special card-type spare.

CONDITION

• The Mercedes has never been crashed, and is straight with bodywork and external trim in clean original condition.
• Its folding metal roof is in excellent order, with no damage and with the mechanism working as it should.
• Original black paintwork is in overall good to very good condition, with only very minor signs of use including stone chips that have been touched in.
• The black and red interior is in very good condition, benefitting from professional refurbishment to correct some common peeling.
• Conscientiously cared for, the SLK is mechanically sound, and all electronics, media, controls and gauges working as they should.

SERVICE HISTORY

• Pro Works Automotive in Matraville serviced the car at 42,000 km, performing a routine service and installing a new battery, as documented in the photographs.
• Prior services were carried out by Mercedes Benz and have been well documented in the car’s service history.

SUMMARY

This is a low-mileage example of Mercedes’ supercharged 230 SLK, with agile handling and a smart factory specification. It would make an excellent choice for weekend cruises, and could also be an ideal car for longer road trips.
