With the roof down, the appeal is even greater as the raspy engine sounds stunning out of the exhaust. The 1.8-litre model has the ability to cruise around town quietly or, under heavy throttle loads, delivers a throaty soundtrack into the cabin, allowing you to savour the best of both worlds.

It’s an engine that is good for 0-62mph in around 7 seconds and treated nicely will return a fuel economy of plus 40 mpg. Power comes from a 1.8-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engine. The carpets are in fantastic nick with Mercedes mats protecting them further. The matching door pads and side trims are equally as good with no dents in the armrests or scuffs anywhere. All the ancillaries will work as expected should you push any buttons. Once settled you will then see that the dash is in in perfect condition with all the dials, buttons and switches showing no wear and tear.
Open the driver’s door and you will find an interior that is no different from the exterior, the sumptuous leather seats are in stunning condition, testament to how well this car was built, it is not showing any sagging, bolster wear or cracking that would normally be appearing on a car of this age. Peer underneath the car and you will find nothing untoward, it genuinely is a lovely, lovely example. The bumpers are showing none of the unsightly scuffs you would normally find, and the wheels are just as good. Roof up and the deep blue paint also looks perfect, and it still opens and closes perfectly, all in the 22 seconds stated by Mercedes. Now don’t get us wrong this SLK 200 is nearly twenty years old so we would expect some minor issues, but we just cannot see any in the images and our vendor is rightly proud of what a clean and tidy example it really is. We have literally scoured the images ourselves and cannot see any blemishes whatsoever. On top of those stunning looks our vendor has shared that the capri blue metallic paintwork is immaculate and looks mightily impressive, looking at the gallery we cannot argue that it is indeed a very impressive example. Arguably the best looking of all three generations in our view. Inspired by the SLS nose this really is a pretty car.

It will be supplied with a full main dealer service history, apart from the last one which was carried out by our vendors specialist, an MOT until June 2024, the V5 in our vendors name, a handful of MOTs and invoices, plus the owner’s manuals and service book warranting the 72k miles. Now showing 72k miles and with the vendor having had his fun it now comes to market. Noticing that it hardly ever moved he enquired and Bob’s your uncle, it was his. In fact, he had spotted it in its car port and had admired the car over four years whilst he cut the lawn for his client.
Our vendor purchased the SLK 200 at 65k mileage from a lady owner who had used it sparingly. The R171 also introduced the Airscarf system that integrates a neck-level heating system into the headrests of the car. The front-end design of the car was inspired by the noses found in Formula One cars. This results in an increase in boot capacity. It features increased use of high-strength steel, and improvements to the car’s torsional strength and aerodynamic efficiencies. Models feature a more compact, revised roof mechanism that is operated in just 22 seconds. The R171 SLK 200 as we have here was unveiled at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show. A German design patent was filed on September 30, 1993. The production SLK-Class was introduced at the Turin Motor Show on 22 April 1996, appearing as a modern incarnation of the 1950s Mercedes-Benz 190SL returning to four cylinders and with an identical 2,400 mm wheelbase. It was designed from late 1991 under Bruno Sacco, with a final design being completed in early 1993 and approved by the board. The Mercedes SLK was the first-generation compact roadster produced by Mercedes-Benz, from 1996 to 2004.
