2008 Mercedes-Benz SLK 280 2-door Convertible Automatic

Description

This 2008 SLK 280 is one of those cars that just feels right — elegant, quiet, and full of character. It’s got a 2997cc V6 with double overhead cams, fuel injected, producing 227bhp, and only done 50,274 miles since new. Four owners total, all with full service records, manuals, and a stack of invoices and receipts — so you know it’s been looked after properly.

The roof folds easily, and it’s a proper convertible — quiet and refined when the top’s down. Inside, it’s all leather, clean, and well-maintained. You get electric windows, central locking, heated mirrors, heated seats, a heated neck scarf, cruise control, dual-zone climate control, and a CD player. The 18-spoke alloy wheels look sharp, and there’s a rear spoiler for a bit of style.

It’s been kept well — not flashy, not overdone — just a solid, smooth drive with real charm. I’ve driven it plenty and it handles great, even on the twisty bits.

If you’ve ever loved a classic Mercedes, or just like the feel of a well-run convertible, this one’s worth a look. Viewing available in Lauder, Scottish Borders.

I’m Simon, and I’ve been around cars for over 30 years — from Ford Anglias to Ferraris and Ducatis. I’ve built up a real love for classic and premium vehicles, and I’m not just selling — I’m passing on something I’ve genuinely cared about. This car’s been in my collection for years, and I’ve kept it running well, mostly on the road, not in storage.

It’s £5,395.50 — a bit more than I’d expect, but it’s a real keeper. If you’re looking for something with history, authenticity, and a bit of soul — this is it.
