In a different league to the old one in terms of ride quality, fixtures and fittings, kit etc. Much more economical (not that you buy an SLK55 for that), and sounds even better.

The Bengal Red seats are much less 'strident' than they appear in the images, the first image gives a much better representation.

The other half, who spends most of the time piloting it vigorously down the road, is pleased ....... ;)
 
Looks gorgeous but then I am biased it's the same colour combo as mine. Congratulations.
 
Not the same as mine then looked like it on the phone. Seats are though. Looks very nice.
 
Great choice Bryan, didn't go for the SL then ?

What a couple of cars you now have. The lady of the house must be highly delighted.

The SL was always going to be a tight squeeze getting into and out of in the garage - it's wide and with very long doors. Going for another SLK was the cheaper option than buying a new house!! It was just a case of finding the right one :)

Final image for now :)

I think I've just had a funny wee. I'd like to find fault with it but I can't. You must be well pleased. That colour combination is perfect.
 
Can't beat an SLK55. The newer one certainly feels and performs better, but the look just doesnt do it for me - not as aggressive looking as the R171. I wish AMG had done more with it. Will probably wait and see what they do with the next gen. I like your choice of colour though, would probably be mine also.
 
So you've replaced a hairdressers car with another hairdressers car:crazy:

Only joking:D...new car looks fab pal, congrats:thumb:
