DESCRIPTION
Based on the R170 platform and launched at the Turin Motor Show in 1996, the Mercedes-Benz 230 SLK Kompressor was finally a true competitor to the well established Porsche Boxster and BMW Z3. Power came from a supercharged 2.3 litre staright four engine giving 193bhp and was a massively successful showroom hit, not least for it's clever folding steel hard top design which was hydraulically operated and still left 145 litres of luggage space when lowered.
This very rare 6 speed manual UK right hand drive car was supplied by Mercedes-Benz UK in 2003 and only used for 129 miles prior to being put in to dry storage. Purchased late last year by our vendor it was then serviced by the Mercedes-Benz main dealer in Eastbourne and covered just 70 miles whilst being taken for an MOT and service. Therefore the total mileage today is just 190.
Still in it's original factory colour of Brilliant Silver with light grey cloth the car remains unrestored and unpainted. Factory options in addition to the manual 6 speed gearbox included an 'Audio 10' premium hifi and an unused wind deflector.
Ideal for the serious collector or for someone to enjoy an 'as-new' car today, it is sensibly guided and offers great value classic car ownership with all the modern luxuries and remains yet to be registered.
