    SLK clear wind deflector

    I sold my R129 last year after a few unsatisfactory experiences & went back to a R170 320 which feels like coming home :-) The next upgrade will be to the R230 but there is plenty of life left in this one. I guess the one from HPL is adequate if you are looking for a basic deflector for the...

    New SLK 200 Owner

    PM me please Hi As you probably won the Witter towbar off Ebay against me, might buy it off you as I need a bike carrier for the R170. Witter did indeed do a towbar for the R170 but the car is not recommended for towing heavy objects & there is a OEM towbar for the R171.

    Just bought a 1992 R129 300SL-24, 49k miles, import.

    Well, what do you expect from someone who uses the nick ??? LOL, was an impulse buy at auction, I went expecting to buy a CLK / S class saloon / other convertible but lets just say the economics of this made a compelling case. A few minor fixes needed to my eye, all Bill has said at the...

    Thanks. Have dropped the car off at Bill Schraeder's in Billericay for an inspection & service. Am waiting for his report but initial impressions are quite good.

    Just bought a 1992 R129 300SL-24, 49k miles, import.

    I have just this week bought a 1992 R129 300SL-24 as my replacement car after selling my SLK earlier. Located in Epsom, Surrey. Is anyone with a similar car able to advise me / assist / look it over as I am new to the classic car game?

    Opinions from SLK owners (R170 version)

    My SLK 230 was the original model & just sold on eBay. It is a tourer, not a sports car & it does that job very well. The only thing I would change would be the MB customer experience, public flogging is too good for them. I mean both dealers & MB UK.

    SLK 230 Tip Auto on eBay

    Buyer pulled out! Claims cashflow probs, so back below reserve. Anyone else interested in a bargain?

    SLK 230 Tip Auto on eBay

    The reserve is what a dealer offered me. I will wait it out but don't generally quote the reserve too high to avoid scaring people away. I agree re the AMG bits but that is the whole point, am willing to wait till there is a discerning buyer. Am not aware of too many (well, any to me but...

    SLK 230 Tip Auto on eBay

    I am running out of time, was hoping for the car to fetch more than it is currently at. Similar cars on Autotrader in excess of £16500, much more at MB dealers. Can a charitable soul provide a valuation, inc the optional fitments? My SLK on eBay.
