At the start of the 1990s, after the introduction of their two-seat grand-tourer, the R129 SL, the launch of the Mazda MX-5 encouraged Mercedes-Benz set out to create a new compact roadster, slotted below the SL. By late 1991, under Bruno Sacco, the first design sketches were drawn, with scale models being built in the first half of 1992. Massively successful in its first year, worldwide sales hit 55,000, over double the entire nine-year production of 190 SLs and between 1996 and 2004, over 311,000 SLKs were sold. The roof design consists of a folding steel hardtop with both halves linked by a mechanism that is locked securely when the roof is closed. At the touch of a button on the centre console, a hydraulic system controls the fully automatic folding process in which the boot lid is also integrated.
Presented in its rare colour scheme of Brilliant Silver Metallic with leather upholstery in Galaxy Blue and Merlin Blue, this SLK’s specification also includes bird’s eye maple trim, 17in. seven-spoke wheels, a radio with ten-CD changer, and the very desirable 3.2-litre V6 with five-speed automatic. Consistently looked-after, especially with the second keeper, who owned it from 2005 to 2022, the SLK has a warranted mileage of just circa 60,500, and has nevertheless received six stamped and two additional service invoices. The first was performed by a Mercedes-Benz dealership in 2003, and four of the stamps were issued by marque specialist Robin Lamb, most recently at 49,213 miles in January, 2019. Since then, the car has twice been serviced by Pulse Autocare, in 2022 and 2023. The second of those, at around 53,000 miles, involved a gearbox oil change, including the filter and pan seal.
For further evidence of the SLK’s maintenance, the MOT record is impressive, since it shows that the Mercedes has been tested annually since 2015 and passed every time. The current certificate shows no advisories and is valid until March, 2027. At twenty-six tears old, this remains a very well-preserved and highly useable car.
