2001 51 FACELIFT MERCEDES SLK 230 KOMPRESSOR ROADSTER AUTO Rare Prismatine Green Metallic/ Siam Leather 73000 Miles - 2 Former Owners Pristine Vehicle 87 HD Images Available 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.

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.
