Hi folks,
Happy to meet you all.
After a long search have finally purchased a 1998 SLK230 Komp. - long search 'cos I wanted full service history and top condition for year.
Car is German spec 5-speed manual which looks about 1 year old in all respects and I'm looking forward to scampering around local quiet and hilly/winding roads in SW France.
I previously ran a '52 MGTD and then a TR5 (TR250 with PI) which were both great fun but seriously old technology.
I've always been involved with interesting machinery - used to fly B707 for a living (Queen of the skies!) and spent 10 years rebuilding a 58ft steamboat dating from 1899. So the SLK is definitely a leap into the future!
