1999 Mercedes-Benz R170 SLK 230
Highlights
- Only 31,365 miles
- Popular colour and engine combination
- MOT to July with no advisories
- Clever coupe to convertible versatility
The Appeal
The R170 SLK was Mercedes-Benz’ inspired contribution to the burgeoning 90s two seater sports car market. Shrinking the clever folding roof technology from the bigger SL and combining it with a range of supercharged engines gave buyers something quite different. It was all drizzled with reassuring Mercedes-Benz quality and comfort.
Of the range of engines available, the 2.3litre supercharged M111 190bhp motor is popular with buyers because it blends economy with performance.
Finished in classic Brilliant Silver metallic, this tidy SLK230 is a very low mileage car with just five keepers from new. The condition matches the sparing use across the interior and exterior. The bodywork is well kept with few signs of age.
The MOT and service history support the low mileage. It comes to market with few miles since the last service and MOT - with no advisories - to July 2024. It looks perfect for summer.
