Pristine Vehicle

EF51 FCP
First registered and pre delivery inspected by Lancaster Mercedes in Romford
on 12.12.2001 to a Mrs Morgan of Romford in Essex. The first Lady owners
tenure lasted until July 2010 where the second Lady - A Mrs Taylor of Bristol took
ownership. In June 2012 the final Lady keeper - A Mrs Pather of Clachton-On-Sea
bought the car. The most recent owner has owned nearly 7 years and was gutted
to part with the car actually sobbing as it left such was her emotional
attachment to it. The arrival of a Grandchild meant it was no longer fit
for purpose and it had to go. All 3 owners have been lady drivers and they have
all cared for this car with it being garaged for the last 7 years and doing
light duties. This is one of the best used cars I have owned in a long time,
it presents like a few years old.

The SLK Roadster embodies the image that Mercedes wish to cultivate.
Becoming highly sought after on the used market. The 230 is the pick of the
model in the range and is tipped in many recent press articles to be a car to
invest in with values set to appreciate. In the metal, the cars profile is hunched
and aggressive to an extent that photos fail to adequately communicate. The
cars are involving in a way that you might not expect. They ride serenely,
however, don't roll much and can be placed through a corner with perfect
precision. These are cars that have helped change the image of Mercedes
forever. Own one and enjoy it to the full.

A superb and rare colour combination of Prismatine Green Metallic and
Siam leather. Sixteen inch original lightweight Mercedes alloys, Sony
Hi-Fi. The 2.3 Supercharged engine is coupled with an excellent 5 speed
shiftronic sports gearbox, the 197 bhp power output is spikey and instant
at any rev in any gear the engine spooling up without hesitation, once
driven forever hooked. The specification is superb with four electric
windows, climate control, tinted windows, cruise control with speed limiter,
ESP, chrome pedals and kickplates plus a tasteful blend of Silver Dash
trim and leathers abundant throughout the cabin. The facelift car has the
inmproved gearbox with shiftronic touch.
An immaculate set of fitted branded carpet mats finish the cabin. Two
original supplied Mercedes remote keys with remote central locking and
security. The roof is fully auto with an electro-hydraulic servo-drive
activated by a pull/push switch next to the gear lever, drops and seals
in about 20 secs, and has a snug neat fitted roof that does not leak and
crucially forms part of a solid structure with a heated rear glass window.

Condition
As the images suggest it is of awesome appearance and is an utter joy to
use. No negatives, the perfect Summer vehicle in a desirable colour with
a bombproof story. Immaculate paint and interior, with a detailed
unspoiled engine bay and load are in the rear. Study the many images
to absorb how pristine this Mercedes is, presents like a much younger
vehicle. Two replacement wings fitted by Mercedes dealer a few years ago
so this will not be an issue on the car moving forward, this is one of
the weak areas on the SLK. The previous owner loved this car so much that
she even had a professional picture shoot carried out and had a large
print made of it, I have taken an image of this is the gallery.

Alloys/ Tyres
16 " Mercedes alloys in excellent condition with a complete matching set
of tyres. The cars handles and rides best with the 16" rim. I have just had
the rims professionally refinished and they are in perfect condition.
