Highlights

• Finished in distinctive Mercedes Prismatin Green over Anthracite leather

• MOT valid until May 2027

The Appeal

The R170 SLK 320 pairs the ingenuity of the brand's Vario folding hardtop with the smooth, willing power of the 3.2-litre V6 – the most potent non-AMG engine available in the first-generation SLK. It's one of the ultimate manifestations of Mercedes-Benz's roadster formula.

This example stands out from the crowd thanks to its Mercedes Prismatin Green paintwork, quite a unique livery compared to the common silver or black paintwork you're more likely to see on the British network. With an MOT in place until May 2027, it's ready and waiting to join its lucky new keeper.
