February 2024

This car was on my bucket list for quite some time and now my children are all grown up I could now buy the car I have always wanted, something for me and my wife to hop into of a weekend and enjoy, we live in sunny Essex.

I bought this 2005 SLK350 in late 2023 December 24th from a car dealer it was sitting in the show room and was absolutely immaculate, full service history and only 64000 miles, so a Christmas present for myself it became which I have never done before ! it ticked every box nice colour blue with ivory leather interior and dash trimmings fully loaded and all working perfectly and wow that airscarf we love the airscarf,

I am so happy with the car and at any opportunity or excuse we go for a drive we have named her Millie,
driving millie is so cool, we often get compliments on the car how nice it is and when I say its a 2005 they cant believe it. the performance is very good and it feels so roomy I had a C180 a few years back and the front cockpit feels very similar in size to the front of that tbh, I’m not worried about MPG its not my commuter as i work from home I had to have the 350 the roar of that V6 especially when the roof is down is fantastic,

I then found this fantastic slkownersclub on facebook which has proven to be an absolute gem of a club for me
since joining and with the help of many members I have had new springs all round and a new subframe which I have to mention Dave Evans especially for this as without he’s help it would have been a very costly repair.

Thank you for voting for my picture it was taken on my IPhone in a county lane in Rayleigh Essex next to the carpenters arms pub on a sunny cold January morning
