Mercedes-Benz SLK 200 Kompressor | R171 | Fire Opal Red | 2010 (60 Plate) The R171 SLK comes from a particularly appealing period of Mercedes-Benz roadster design: compact proportions, a proper long bonnet, rear-wheel drive and the ingenious electrically folding Vario roof. By 2010 the R171 had matured into an exceptionally well-sorted little sports car, and this late example is made all the more desirable by its 51,000-mile provenance and wonderful colour combination. Finished in striking Fire Opal Red (590) with contrasting Alpaca Grey Nappa Leather, this beautifully preserved SLK presents in fantastic condition. Roof up, it is a refined Mercedes-Benz coupé; press a button and it transforms into a proper open-top roadster. Under the bonnet sits the characterful M271 1.8-litre Kompressor petrol engine, paired with Mercedes-Benz automatic transmission. Responsive, smooth and pleasantly old-school in character, it suits the R171 remarkably well. Factory Specification Highlights AMG Style Alloy Wheels, Alpaca Grey Nappa Leather, AIRSCARF Neck-Level Heating, Heated Seats, Audio 20 with CD Player, Radio and Bluetooth Connectivity, Front and Rear Acoustic and Visual Parking Sensors, Speed Sensitive Power Steering, Draft Stop, Rain Sensor, Cup Holder and Interior Lighting Package. Documentation and Provenance The vehicle has remained with its most recent lady custodian since 2021 and is accompanied by a Comprehensive Mercedes-Benz and Independent Service History. Most importantly, a Major Service B has just been completed at the current mileage of 51,521 miles in August 2026, including the Automatic Transmission Service. That is precisely the sort of meaningful maintenance we like to see on a cherished R171. Supplied with MOT until August 2027, HPI Clearance Certificate, current V5 Registration Document and two keys. There is an enormous amount to like here. Just 51,000 miles, comprehensive history, freshly completed major servicing, Nappa Leather, AIRSCARF and that superb Fire Opal Red paintwork combine to make this a particularly attractive late R171. With the roof down, heated seats and AIRSCARF switched on, even a slightly chilly British evening becomes an excuse to take the long way home. A beautifully maintained example of a Mercedes-Benz roadster that is ageing extremely gracefully.
