"Totally pristine and unmarked" according to the dealer yet a 50 pence sized rust spot and a misaligned door! Also quite a rare Kompressor model because according to the dealer it is also turbocharged:D

Yet to see an unmarked/pristine 10 year old car so took with a pinch of salt but the car is in vgc and been well maintained,don't think door is misaligned though and sure there is a quick fix so will search the forum......
 
Collecting the slk this am[mrs can't wait],forecast doesn't look too good for top down driving:(
 
Drive immediately North to Lancashire. It fine and warm here.

Good Luck with the car and perhaps you may see less of the Mrs than you do now when the sun pops out.

She wont get much shopping in the boot though.
 
Sounds a nice little car Steve, I'm sure you both enjoy it.

All ok thanks Lee-not been on forum much in last 6 months as been busy at work/socially but back in the swing of things now.
 
Collected the car yesterday and even had the roof down on drive home,everything working as it should and all history/paperwork checked out/up to date,cherished plate to be fitted when new v5 etc back from swansea-mrs very happy!:cool:
 
With the roof up there's loads of room in the boot. Boot down. we can get 3 middle ish holdalls and a camera bag AND wife shoes - if you leave them loose.
