Description
Pretty, lady-owned automatic supercharged face-lift example in
appealing colour combination
Dating from March
2001 this pretty R170 generation of SLK is a face-lift model, finished in a
delightful hue of Blue and sits upon its original five-spoke 16” alloy wheels
and red painted brake callipers.
This example
is a 230 Kompressor model, which translates to there being a 2.3 litre M111.983
four-cylinder petrol engine with supercharger that develops 194Bhp and 280NM of
torque driving the rear wheels via five-speed automatic/tiptronic
transmission.
Performance as a result, in such
a light, small car was surprisingly rapid, with the dash to sixty taking just
7.3 seconds.
Inside, we find black leather
seats with electric adjustment for the driver, polished aluminium dash trim,
dual zone climate control with AC, traction control, cruise control and
after-market flip out in-car entertainment system with navigation. We also note fitment of a useful wind
deflector between the roll over hoops.
The R170 series SLK does also of course, boast its clever folding metal
roof with heated glass rear screen that looks to work as it
should.
The car shows 108,829 miles, with
the history file including the V5C revealing six former keepers to our lady
owner and vendor, an old V5C, selection of invoices including purchase of a new
propshaft bearing in October 2022, a bill totalling some £682 in June 2022 to
include new brake pipes, O2 sensor on the exhaust, new front discs and pads plus
check over and inspection plus at least ten old MOTs in addition to the current,
valid until 29th June 2023 which recorded four minor
advisories.
Ready to be enjoyed, these first
generation SLK’s offer a lot for little outlay in terms of looks, performance
and practicality with that legendary Mercedes star on the
bonnet.
