2001 Mercedes SLK with matching number plate

SLK actually means Sportlich (sporty), Leicht (light) and Kurz (short) and was first Introduced in 1996 as the 1st-generation SLK. It wowed the world with its compact dimensions (for a Mercedes), spritely supercharged performance and its "pièce de résistance', a collapsible steel roof that transforms the sporty two-seater from a hardtop to an open-air roadster at the touch of a button.

We are informed by the vendor that this is a genuine two owner car, with the first owner having owned the car for 11 years. The mileage of just under 92000 miles is warranted and is supported by the car's service book with 7 stamps. Finished in factory black, the gloss of this cars paintwork is deep throughout and its shut lines are reassuringly symmetrical and narrow and almost flawless, except for some small stone chips to the bonnet. The blue/black leather interior contrasts beautifully both internally and externally and really does give this little Mercedes a real quality feel. The alloy wheels have recently been refurbished and are in superb order with good tread on all 4 tyres.

We are informed by the vendor that Y2 SLK drives beautifully, combining both performance with reliability, the folding roof mechanism works perfectly and makes this car a perfect everyday proposition. The car comes complete with the original dealer hand pack and books and will be sold with a new MOT.As a long term investment this is a sure fire hit. This really is a staggering car for the money and we reckon prices for these little Mercedes will eventually rise.
