Starting life briefly as a dealer demonstrator, this beautifully presented and eye catching SLC43 has had just two private owners since and with just 11,600 miles covered, has averaged only 1,657 miles a year. Widely viewed as ‘an endangered species’, the appeal of this high performance compact roadster is made all the more appealing courtesy of its lovely colour and high specification. Presented in a condition that clearly reflects the previous respective owner’s love of the car, at its heart is a fabulous 367bhp, 3 litre twin turbo petrol engine, delivering 520nm of torque and despatching 0 -62.5mph in just 4.7 secs, all courtesy of a silky smooth and much admired 9 speed automatic gearbox. With a chassis to match and a glorious engine note, its ingenious folding hardtop roof never fails to impress and neither does its stylish and compact lines. As a performance sports car that can be used all day, every day with only a modest car park space required, there are simply few cars to match it. Looking resplendent in its striking and optional Brilliant Blue Metallic Paint finish (£695) and beautifully crafted interior, its high standard specification is enhanced considerably by the addition of a number of carefully chosen factory options and certainly set this car apart: Airguide Pivoting Transparent Wind Deflectors (£285), AMG Night Package featuring 18” AMG Multi-Spoke Bi-Colour Alloys, High Gloss Black Mirrors & Front Splitter and Diffuser Trim (£555) and Panoramic Glass Roof (£410). With every MOT passed without an advisory, for which it has been submitted, it comes inclusive of full service history completed at 4,441 miles (3.6.19), 6,043 miles (21.8.20), 7,023 miles (2.12.21), 8,272 miles (2.2.23), 9,622 miles (2.2.24) and 11,312 miles (14.4.25). Terrific fun, impeccably built and a car to keep for many years. Cost New: £49,980. (RFL: £195). Inclusive of 6 months unlimited mileage warranty. Competitive finance packages inc PCP available on this car.
