At the start of the 1990s, after the introduction of their two-seat grand-tourer, the R129 SL, the launch of the Mazda MX-5 encouraged Mercedes-Benz set out to create a new compact roadster, slotted below the SL. By late 1991, under Bruno Sacco, the first design sketches were drawn, with scale models being built in the first half of 1992. Massively successful in its first year, worldwide sales hit 55, 000, over double the entire nine-year production of 190 SLs and between 1996 and 2004, over 311, 000 SLKs were sold. The roof design consists of a folding steel hardtop with both halves linked by a mechanism that is locked securely when the roof is closed. At the touch of a button on the centre console, a hydraulic system controls the fully automatic folding process in which the boot lid is also integrated.
Displaying just c. 25, 500 miles from new and ordered from the factory with a very good specification, in Brilliant Silver with contrasting Anthracite/ Black leather seats. The SLK’s features include automatic transmission, bird’s eye maple wood trim, heated front seats, M-B Audio with CD and preparation for a roof carrying system, not to mention the wood with leather steering wheel and matching gearstick; it would have totalled as some £4, 000 of options. The standard specification includes electrically adjustable seating, air conditioning, cruise control, wood leather steering wheel, a very well cared for original UK registered example and ULEZ compliant.
Also present is the M-B first aid kit, warning triangle and tools with the locking wheel nut. A Mercedes-Benz to be enjoyed on a beautiful day with the roof down, has covered a few thousand miles in the current ownership and has been garaged. The vendor informs us the headlamp units have been replaced during his 4-year ownership with new Bosch units. Enjoyed for leisurely trips to Devon, it is offered with the original handbooks and stamped service book (Mercedes-Benz and specialists), it was last serviced less than 1000 miles ago with Mercedes-Benz and the last MOT with no advisories. It is supplied with a V5C and two keys.
