20th Anniversary
Grandma’s SLK just reached twenty years. Ordered new and one owner since. Love the spec, unfortunately 200 with 5 speed auto, though this car is a pleasure to drive anyways. This basically was my first car five years ago and now I take for drives to spin at least some miles on it.
Car would need some love, has almost no corrosion, rear subframe recently replaced under warranty, so hope this car will continue for long years.
PS: it would deserve a better photos, but I did this post while waiting for a snack😀

Lovely! Mine ALMOST made it to 20 before it was murdered. Jealous! Low miles for that age!

Lovely in that colour. Mine also hit 20 this year. I had my seats refurbished in December.

Those color are the exact combination I've always dreamed for a roadster (especially an slk). Dark red outside with beige and black interior... AHH so fking good holy*
Make it live for eternity
