The R107 series SLK is rapidly becoming sought-after by collectors and enthusiasts for its timeless good looks, and this very special limited edition example with its low mileage and original unmolested condition will please the most discerning Mercedes enthusiast or sports convertible buyer. It drives through a 5-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels in the classic sports car tradition. This car has the proven and reliable 145kW 2.3L Kompressor (supercharged and intercooled) 16-valve 4-cylinder engine and can sprint to 100km/h in just 7.3 seconds. All this on top of standard features including cruise control, a leather steering wheel, high-quality factory audio system, dual zone air-conditioning, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), traction control and more. It came with exclusive features including pleated seats in fine Nappa leather, special aluminium trim on the dash and console, stepped 5 twin-spoke 16-inch alloy wheels, chrome trim around the side windows, chrome interior highlights, a special grille finished in the body colour, and unique 'Special Edition' flank badging. The 'Special Edition' was released by Mercedes-Benz at the Geneva Motor Show in 2003 to mark the end of the line of the original SLK series, the R170. The history indicates a pattern of meticulous care, initially by Mercedes dealers and then by reputable specialists. Delivered new by McIntosh of Mosman, the car comes with the original manuals, factory literature, two service log books (the original plus a secondary) and spare remote key. This unspoiled and highly original 2003 R170 SLK230 Kompressor 'Special Edition' has covered just 100,589km since new, and is finished in Zircon Silver with a black Nappa leather interior. Unique to the SLK amongst this new brat-pack of roadsters was its folding steel vario-roof, enabling it to transform in seconds from a convertible to a hard-top coupé. The badge was also derived from naming conventions first used by Mercedes many decades before: Sportlich (sporting)…Leicht (lightweight)…Kurz (short wheelbase). The SLK was designed by Daimler’s legendary chief stylist Bruno Sacco, and was a salute to the classic 190SL of the 1950s…even sharing the earlier car’s 2,400mm wheelbase. In the final few years of the twentieth century, cashed-up sports car fans were treated to the arrival of a flurry of desirable new two-seater roadsters – most notably the Porsche Boxster, the BMW Z3 and the Mercedes-Benz SLK. The second half of the 1990s saw two trends emerge which significantly altered the automotive scene: firstly, the rise of the SUV as a passenger car alternative and secondly the reappearance of the compact roadster.
