1997 Mercedes-Benz SLK230 Kompressor (R170)

Description

One lady owner since 1999; one of the earliest SLK230 Kompressors factory fitted with AMG Sport Pack bodykit and wheels with two-tone interior

Dating from March 1997, this early first generation R170 series Mercedes SLK230 Kompressor comes to us finished in Silver wearing the desirable factory fit AMG Sport Package featuring AMG body kit, AMG chromed tipped exhaust pipes, 17” AMG five-spoke alloy wheels and looks rather beefy as a result.

Under the bonnet, we find the 2.3-litre M111.973 supercharged four-cylinder petrol engine which develops 190bhp and a whopping 280NM of torque giving the little SLK surprising performance and good economy.  Drive is sent to the rear wheels via five-speed automatic transmission.

Inside, we find a cost option ‘Designo’ two-tone Red and Black leather interior, carbon trim, white dials, cruise control, electric windows, electric mirrors, electric folding roof with heated glass rear screen, original radio/CD player, traction control, two-stage heated seats and air conditioning.

The car has been in sole ownership since September 1999 and shows an indicated 114,686 miles presenting generally well for its age with a few blemishes to the paint and minor bubbling typical of the model as pictured with a split to the front under apron as pictured and typical wear to the red centre console as shown.

The history file includes the V5C, owner’s pack with manuals and current Mot valid until May 2024 recording just one minor advisory for a ‘brake pipe corroded or covered in grease/other material’.

Ready to be enjoyed, this must be one of the earliest factory AMG Sport Pack R170 series SLK230 Kompressors available.
