Auctioneer’s Notes:

A smart and increasingly sought-after example of the Mercedes-Benz SLK 230 Kompressor, presented here with just three owners from new and displaying low, genuine mileage. Combining classic late-1990s Mercedes build quality with the innovative folding hardtop design, this SLK offers both open-top enjoyment and everyday usability in equal measure. A well-cared-for example that will appeal to both enthusiasts and those seeking an accessible modern classic.

Maintenance & Condition:

This SLK has been regularly serviced throughout its life, reflecting conscientious ownership and ongoing care. It is offered with a fresh MOT, providing reassurance for its next custodian. The overall condition is commensurate with its low mileage and careful use, presenting as a tidy and well-maintained example of the model.

History:

Having had just three owners from new, this SLK benefits from a consistent and traceable ownership history. Its low mileage is believed genuine and supported by its service record and general condition. A well-kept car that has clearly been enjoyed responsibly rather than excessively used.

The Model:

Introduced in 1996, the Mercedes-Benz SLK (R170) was a groundbreaking model, bringing the concept of a compact roadster with a folding metal ‘Vario-Roof’ to the mainstream market. The SLK 230 Kompressor variant features a supercharged 2.3-litre engine, delivering lively performance alongside refined cruising ability. Its blend of sporty styling, solid engineering, and everyday practicality made it an instant success and a benchmark in its class.

Sale Insight:

With its desirable specification, low mileage, and fresh MOT, this 230 Kompressor represents an attractive and usable entry into classic Mercedes-Benz ownership, equally suited to weekend drives or summer touring.
