Description

At the start of the 1990s, Mercedes-Benz sought to create a compact roadster to sit beneath the Mercedes-Benz R129 SL, offering open-top enjoyment in a more accessible package. The result was the Mercedes-Benz SLK, a model which proved an instant success, thanks in part to its innovative folding steel hardtop, operated at the touch of a button via a fully automatic hydraulic system.

This superb example has covered just over 18,000 miles from new and is now offered with just two owners, the first of whom retained the car for an impressive 20 years. Presented in black with a matching black leather interior, it remains in excellent condition throughout, entirely in keeping with its remarkably low mileage. A particularly desirable feature is the 'Airscarf' system, with headrests which gently blow warm air onto the occupant's neck, ideal for comfortable top-down motoring even on cooler days. The specification also includes the electric folding hardtop, automatic gearbox, electric windows and satellite navigation.

The car benefits from a comprehensive service history, reflecting consistent care over the years. It is accompanied by an MoT test certificate, valid until April 2027, offering added peace of mind for the next owner. Combining low mileage, long-term ownership and an excellent specification, this SLK represents a highly usable and increasingly sought-after modern classic, equally suited to relaxed cruising or more spirited driving, and with the added advantage of ULEZ compliance.
