Iconic first-generation of the R170 SLK Roadster
V6 motor putting out 215 BHP and 229 ft. lbs. torque
Classic Mercedes Silver over Black leather interior
The R170 SLK was the first generation of the Mercedes-Benz range of compact luxury roadsters manufactured between 1995 and 2004 using a shortened version of the W202 C-Class platform. The SLK name derives from the roadster's design mission to be Sporty (Sportlich), Light (Leicht) and Compact (Kurz) with around 33, 000 of the 3. 2 litre 320 models manufactured before being replaced by the second generation R171 in 2004. Based on the SLK 1 Concept car first seen at the 1994 Turin Motor Show and the SLK 2 Concept, presented at the 1994 Paris Motor Show it was a two-seater roadster featuring a folding metal electro-hydraulic roof, dubbed 'vario-roof' by Mercedes, that takes only 25 seconds to operate. A German design patent was filed on 30 September 1993, with the final production version of the SLK introduced at the Turin Motor Show on 22 April 1996. The SLK 320 variant features a 3200cc V6 motor putting out 215 BHP and 229 ft. lbs. of torque. Its enduring popularity has been attributed to its typical Mercedes build quality, timeless styling and the incorporation of innovative safety features making the SLK R170 one of the more desirable Roadster models ever produced.

This 2003 SLK 320 V6, being offered at no reserve, is part of a deceased estate. Bought by him around 10 years ago, the vendor was an avid motorcycle collector who kept the car for weekend pleasure runs around the Peak District. It was last MOTd at 48, 500 miles on the 15th February this year but sadly due to the owners deteriorating health it has barely been driven since. The car starts and runs but will need the normal checks before being used again and comes supplied with a current V5C.
