Registration No: VF02 MVR
Chassis No: WDB1704662F275481
MOT: March 2026
1 of just 263 UK-supplied cars (from a global production run of 4, 333)
Warranted 66, 500 miles from new with supporting service and MOT history
Claimed 0-60mph in 4. 6 seconds and 155mph (limited)
Highly capable grand tourer with grin-inducing overtaking punch
Introduced in 2001, the SLK32 AMG was powered by a handbuilt, supercharged 3. 2 litre V6 engine allied to Mercedes-Benz’s new SpeedShift 5G-Tronic transmission. With 349bhp/ 332lbft on tap, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4. 6 seconds and 155mph (limited). The suspension, brakes and steering were all upgraded to deal with such Porsche 911 performance levels, while the discrete bootlid spoiler reduced lift by fifty percent. Rare and expensive in equal measure, a mere 4, 333 were sold worldwide (with just 263 being UK-supplied).
Finished in the rare combination of Metallic Black with Anthracite / Alpaca Grey leather upholstery and dark Bird’s Eye Maple wood veneers, chassis WDB1704662F275481 was despatched to the UK on July 24th 2004. Well-specified with air conditioning, heated seats and Xenon headlights etc, the Mercedes-Benz is warranted to have covered just 66, 500 miles from new. Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, ‘VF02 MVR’ passed its most recent MOT test on March 10th 2025 with ‘no advisories’. Riding on Michelin tyres all-round, it further benefits from an uprated Kenwood stereo, indoor car cover and fitted luggage. Still offering grin-inducing overtaking punch, this rare SLK32 AMG will be driven to the sale and comes with its V5C Registration Document, book pack and history file.
