Introduction
Glyn Parry
Pairing agile roadster handling with grand tourer comfort, the Mercedes SLK 280 features luxurious styling inside and out.
The SLK-Class was first launched in 1996, and was built at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Bremen until production ended in 2020. SLK is derived from sporty (sportlich), lightweight (leight), and short (kurz).
The idea behind the SLK-Class was to attract young professionals looking for a good time in a fun sports car. The SLK roadster offers just that in a small two-seat roadster form with a folding hardtop. This is the second generation of SLK, known internally as the R171. This series features a longer wheelbase, increased length and width, 40% increased use of high strength steel, 7-speed automatic transmission, adaptive two-stage airbags, head/thorax side airbags and a revised roof mechanism, deployable in ~22 seconds with a rotary-pivoting rear window enabling a more compact folded roof stack and increased boot storage.
The car comes to market after ~10 years of ownership, having covered ~47,177 miles over its years, with under ~5,000 miles travelled in the last ~5 years. The car has recently completed its MOT with no advisories and benefitted from an oil service and air con re-gas.
This SLK features a specification that includes: Parktronic system, leather steering wheel and gear shift, instrument cluster, universal telephone package, air scarf system, 7-speed transmission, anti-theft and sensor alarm, siren bracket for increased security, air con and heated seats.
Overall, this SLK is ready to go for the new owner; ready for warmer months and many more miles on the road.
This listing was written from information supplied by Glyn after meeting Gareth the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
