Seller's Comment
The second half of the 1990s saw Mercedes-Benz return to a segment it had not occupied since the 190SL the compact two-seat roadster. The result was the R170 SLK, a car that combined classic proportions with contemporary engineering and, most notably, the revolutionary folding steel Vario-Roof. Designed under the direction of Bruno Sacco, the SLK was compact, purposeful and unmistakably Mercedes-Benz.
This 1998 Mercedes-Benz SLK230 Kompressor (R170) was built in March 1998 and complied in May 1998, and is finished in Zircon Silver Metallic with the desirable LEATHER QUARTZ interior (225A) a striking two-tone combination of Black and Light Grey. The contrast works beautifully with the silver exterior and gives the cabin a light, period-correct feel that is far less common than monotone interiors.
Delivered new on the 18th of May 1998 by Mercedes-Benz of Sydney, this car is accompanied by its original purchase certificate and invoice showing a new vehicle price of $107,378 a substantial sum at the time and a reminder of how premium these cars were positioned.
It was first owned by a Doctor on Sydneys Upper North Shore in Turramurra, where it remained until 2016, before passing to its second owner in the Dural Hills District of Sydney. Importantly, it has travelled a genuine 57,000 kilometres from new and still retains its original number plates issued at delivery a rare and appealing detail that further reinforces its authenticity and provenance.
Servicing was carried out by Mercedes-Benz up until 2016 at 36,352km, with subsequent maintenance performed by an independent mechanic. It is accompanied by:
Original purchase certificate and invoice
Original Mercedes-Benz folder
Factory books and manuals
Three keys
In terms of presentation, this SLK is exceptionally well preserved. The paintwork retains excellent depth and gloss, the body presents clean and straight, and even the factory alloy wheels present almost as new a detail rarely seen on an R170 of this age.
The LEATHER QUARTZ interior remains in outstanding condition, with minimal wear consistent with its low mileage. The two-tone trim, switchgear, carpets and soft-touch surfaces all present beautifully and reflect careful long-term ownership.
The folding steel Vario-Roof operates exactly as it should. Importantly, it has recently been inspected by a Mercedes-Benz specialist, who rebuilt one of the rear roof hydraulic rams due to a minor leak a common age-related issue on these cars. This has now been properly rectified, and the roof functions smoothly and correctly.
Mechanically, the SLK230 is powered by the proven 2.3-litre supercharged (Kompressor) four-cylinder engine producing 142kW, delivering strong mid-range torque and effortless performance for its size. The compact R170 chassis remains engaging and well balanced, offering a genuine analogue driving experience that is increasingly appreciated by enthusiasts.
Examples of this quality, with low verified mileage, documented provenance, original plates and factory paperwork, are becoming increasingly difficult to source. This is a highly original, unmodified Australian-delivered SLK that will appeal equally to collectors and buyers seeking a properly preserved modern classic.
