"A wonderful car that has been sparingly driven over the years by a single family. It doesn’t get much better than this. While it’s of course no longer new, much of that original new-car feel still remains."

"A wonderful car that has been sparingly driven over the years by a single family. It doesn’t get much better than this. While it’s of course no longer new, much of that original new-car feel still remains."

Description

This car was first registered in March 2011. It was purchased new by a family through their company. The man is a car enthusiast and a well-known figure in Swedish motorsport. Since new, the car has been driven only 8,050 km. It has been to an authorized workshop on occasion, but the majority of maintenance has been carried out in-house using top-quality parts and fluids.

The car has always been stored in a heated garage and has never been driven in winter. Prior to the most recent inspection in April, the engine oil and filter, cabin filter, and brake fluid were all changed.

Included with the car are the original documents, two keys, inspection records, and various paperwork. The car is inspected and ready to drive.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Starts easily and ran smoothly in both engine and drivetrain. During a test drive on local roads and highways, everything functioned perfectly. Steering, handling, clutch, gearbox, and brakes all performed as they should. An easy-to-drive and comfortable ride.

    It hasn’t been inspected on a lift, but everything visible looked good, and the owner provided photos of the underbody and key components taken in April. Everything appears to be in excellent condition.

  • Interior condition:

    Completely original with a very well-preserved interior. Seats offer excellent comfort. Steering wheel, controls, dashboard, and gauges are all in equally fine condition. All electrical functions appear to be working properly. The air conditioning has been serviced and cools as it should.

  • Exterior condition:

    Completely original—well cared for and garage-kept, which has preserved the paint, glass, trim, lighting elements, as well as wheels and tires in excellent condition. There’s a small stone chip and a minor crack in the glass roof, which has been there for 12 years but remains watertight. The tires are original and show no significant wear, though they may warrant replacement due to age. Both the engine bay and luggage compartment are also in equally fine condition.

  • General condition:

    Sure, there are still a few years to go before it officially gains classic status—but in this condition and with its relatively unique preservation, it’s already an enthusiast’s car and a collectible vehicle.

Facts about the model

That both the titles Super and Sport were present in the 1930s Mercedes SSKL — Super Sport Kompressor Leicht from 1931 — is a well-known fact. However, whether the post-war Mercedes designation SL stands for Super Leicht or Sport Leicht depends on who you ask in the brand’s rich history.

What we do know is that the 300 SL race car with gullwing doors, which debuted in 1952, was eventually developed into a more civilized road-going version produced from 1954 to 1957. When that version was phased out, it was followed by an open-top Roadster offering similar performance and style, built from 1957 to 1963. Since then, Mercedes has continuously offered an open sports car under the SL designation.

In 1996, Mercedes expanded the lineup with a smaller, more compact version featuring a retractable hardtop. This model was given the name SLK, making it “two cars in one” — Coupé and Cabriolet. The SLK quickly became popular, and the first generation, the R170, was built in over 300,000 units. Engine options ranged from four- to six-cylinder powerplants, delivering between 136 hp and up to 364 hp in the top-spec SLK 32 AMG. Most engines—excluding the base models—featured supercharged fuel injection systems. Buyers could choose between six-speed manuals or five-speed automatics.

In 2004, the second generation, the R171, was introduced. It followed the same core concept but now included a V8 engine option. Automatics were now available with 5 to 7 speeds, depending on the engine. The SLK 55 AMG came with a V8 engine producing 400 hp. A facelift was introduced in 2008.

For the 2011 model year, the third generation, the R172, arrived. It featured significant technical and visual updates, including the return of the classic side vents—paying homage to the original 1950s SL Roadster and its big brother. The engine range now consisted exclusively of four- and six-cylinder units, with outputs ranging from 204 hp up to 422 hp in the AMG version.

In 2015, the model was refreshed once again and rebranded as the SLC-Class, marking the end of the SLK nameplate but continuing its legacy.
