2007 '57' Mercedes SLK 55 AMG Black
Series, approx £28,000 worth of AMG modifications from new
A stunning
car which has covered just 26,000 miles from new and benefits from around
£28,000 worth of modifications including the desirable £21,000 Black
Series modifications fitted from new.
The
original purchaser was an SLK55 fanatic and ordered 3 of these cars, one
he left standard for frequent use, the other was left hand drive for use
on the continent and this car was sent to AMG in Germany to be fitted with
the AMG Black Series modifications to include adjustable suspension (
£3485 ), AMG limited slip differential ( £3580 ), AMG braking system with
6 pot 360mm calipers ( £1910 ), AMG Black Series wheels 8.5J x19 front and
9.5J x19 rear ( £5300 ) the wheel arches being rolled and flared to
accommodate these wheels ( £1280 ). The gentleman also specified upgraded
carpets and AMG leather carpet mats ( £1800 altogether ). At the same time
the factory speed limiter was removed ! The gentleman also specified a
folding roof and comfort seats and deleted the Black Series cast manifold
which apparently is prone to cracking. With installation charges and other
items the total expenditure was close to £28,000 in addition to the
£56,000 purchase price of what was already a very high specification car.
We are told this was a very well known car at the time and was registered
"MR55 SLK".
Together
with the vehicle we have an A4 binder containing the service records with
prior servicing being recorded at 5715, 7603, 9248, 10157, 11623, 20633,
23024, 25171, 25993 and 26170 miles. Needless to say the car drives as it
should, the engine raw, powerful and explosive, the steering sharp and the
handling very responsive. The car has a firm, sporting ride and the brakes
are simply astonishing, the driving experience is thrilling and
accompanied by the most spectacular exhaust noise. The car has an AMG quad
exit chromed sports exhaust system and the noise from the 5.4 litre
Supercharged V8 is truly earth shattering - this is a very exciting car !
Finished
in Obsidian black with beige leather comfort seats, the interior showing
no signs of wear and no major marks on the bodywork, this is clearly a car which has been very well looked after
and cherished from new.
Comprehensive specification to include command satellite navigation with
DVD player, dual zone climate control air
conditioning, cruise control, stereo system with CD
changer, parktronic front and rear, speed sensitive power steering, bi-zenon
headlamps with headlamp wash, heated seats, electric seats, air scarf,
remote central locking, upgraded alarm/immobiliser, electric windows
front and rear, electric mirrors, heated mirrors, memory package, trip and fuel computer, fog lamps,
high capacity battery, 19 inch AMG Black Series alloy wheels. All 4 tyres are
like new. The 7 speed automatic gearbox has Comfort, Sport and Manual
modes with paddle shift for manual gearchanges when desired.
The car comes with original remote locking key and spare
key
together with the original book pack containing all owners manuals and a
custom car cover.
The car will be inspected and prepared by an independent
Mercedes specialist and supplied with a new MOT with no advisory notices.
We believe less than 100 cars were specified with the
Black Series options the majority being left hand drive, with such low
mileage and in superb condition this is a very rare and desirable vehicle.
