Lot details

Registration No: M800 NAL
Chassis No: WDB1714542F176385
MOT: T.B.A.

  • Current family ownership and just 52,000 miles from new
  • Treated to a service and four new tyres in 2019
  • Well specified including Airscarf, COMAND, Parktronic and heated seats

Introduced at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show, the second generation SLK (codename R171-Series) echoed the frontal ‘F1 styling’ of its illustrious Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren hypercar sibling. Fully galvanised, the two-seater’s monocoque bodyshell proved an impressive 46 percent stiffer than that of its predecessor with the electro-hydraulic hardtop retracted. Equipped with all round independent suspension, ABS disc brakes and power assisted rack and pinion steering, the R171-Series was powered by a range of inline-4, V6 and V8 engines allied to either manual or automatic transmission. More refined than its Porsche Boxster and BMW Z4 rivals, the Mercedes-Benz was an impressive performer. Featuring a 3 litre V6 developing some 228bhp and 221lbft of torque (despite its nomenclature), the mid-range SLK 280 was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 6.3 seconds and 155mph (limited).

Finished in Iridium Silver Metallic with Red Nappa leather upholstery, chassis WDB1714542F176385 has been in the current family ownership from new and covered just 52,000 miles. Purchased from Mercedes-Benz of Maidstone, its generous specification encompassed: speed sensitive power steering, Parktronic, COMAND, Airscarf, draft excluder, remote hardtop control, 7-speed automatic transmission, air-conditioning, heated seats and five-spoke alloy wheels. Regularly maintained, the SLK 280’s most recent service was in 2019 and included the fitment of new tyres all-round. Little used since then, it started readily upon inspection and ran well. Kept in a private museum building, ‘M800 NAL’ is expected to posses a fresh MOT certificate by the time of sale. There is a small split visible to the rear bumper (which is thought to be in the paint not the plastic) and some light scuffing to the front bumper ahead of the wheelarches. A future classic, this tempting SLK 280 is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file (including the original order form).
