Description
Original excellent channel islands car - Low mileage, with exceptional service history Facing stiff competition from Mazda, and with Porsche, BMW and Audi planning their own small two-seater sportscar, the team at Mercedes-Benz set out to create a new compact roadster to slot below the contemporary R129 SL.
By late 1991, under Bruno Sacco, the first design sketches were drawn, with scale models being built in the first half of 1992.
The revolutionary roof design consisted of a folding steel hardtop with both halves linked by a mechanism which locked securely when the roof was closed.
At the touch of a button a hydraulic system controls the fully automatic folding process in which the boot lid is also integrated.
Massively successful in its first year, worldwide sales hit 55,000, over double the entire nine-year production of 190 SLs; between 1996 and 2004 over 311,000 SLKs were sold.
This beautifully facelifted example was registered in June 2001 in the channel island of Jersey.
