1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK 230 Kompressor

This Mercedes‑Benz SLK 230 Kompressor is a well‑documented and original example of the classic R170 generation, now regarded as a modern classic. The car was produced in August 1999 and first registered the same month. It presents in correct and verified condition with comprehensive documentation, including a detailed inspection and assessment carried out by Classic Car House Copenhagen in April 2026.

The car is powered by the well‑known 2.3‑liter four‑cylinder petrol engine with mechanical supercharger (M111), producing 193 horsepower and delivering a lively and characteristic driving experience, paired with a manual transmission. The drivetrain is known for its robustness and reliability, and the engine appears to be in good mechanical condition. An electronic compression test shows even and satisfactory readings across all four cylinders.

The mileage is documented at 99,455 km as of April 7, 2026, confirmed by both the instrument reading and the Classic Car House report. The mileage is considered credible in relation to the vehicle’s age, history and overall condition.

The chassis number WDB1704471F145455 is consistently documented across all paperwork and has been verified by Classic Car House as correctly and originally stamped. The car was previously registered in Germany and has had a manageable number of owners throughout its life, supported by German registration documents. Ownership details are referenced without names in this description.

The specification is attractive and period‑correct, including black leather interior, heated seats, air conditioning, MB Audio 10 radio, cup holder, adjustable steering column and 17‑inch AMG wheels. The car is finished in Yellowstone (yellow), a color that suits the model particularly well and gives it a distinctive and classic roadster presence.

The overall condition is best described as honest and well‑preserved. The car has been partially repainted, as confirmed by paint measurements, and shows cosmetic signs of use consistent with its age, including minor scratches and paint residue on some rubber trims. The interior presents well with age‑related wear, including a need for leather treatment and a loose section of headliner. The air conditioning is currently not functioning. Mechanically, the car appears sound, though with minor remarks such as slight play in the front wheel bearings and a tendency for light misfiring when cold, which is not considered critical.

Overall, this is an honest, well‑documented and original Mercedes‑Benz SLK 230 Kompressor with low documented mileage and verified identity. A vehicle that will appeal to the enthusiast seeking a classic roadster with character, solid engineering and growing modern‑classic potential.
