Description
2996cc petrol, auto.
This black Mercedes-Benz SLK280 (R171) has been owned by the same husband and wife since new, so the V5C shows only 1 former keeper.
The black leather interior is nicely preserved and features automatic headlamps, heated seats and cruise control, with 78,953 miles showing on the odometer.
The car has an advisory-free Mo
T to 20th September 2027. It is supplied with spare keys, handbook pack, a good collection of Mo
T certificates, a few maintenance receipts and a digital service history printout covering 2012-26.
Last year, less that 2000 miles ago, £630 was spent on a service and 4 new tyres. The vendor advises that the roof sometimes sticks on the latch above the windscreen, but give it a tap and recycle the key a couple of times, and it operates.
The EML and SRS lights are also on. NOTICE TO BUYERS: Please be aware that all lots are sold as seen and without any warranty implied or given.
