He did a H&R spring upgrade, I can't find the thread as the search function is still restricted
Did you say something?On the subject of SLK's, my wife is 50 next week. I bought her a CLK430 cabriolet for her 40th, and she has looked after it very well for the last ten years. She had been dropping hints about a Maserati GranTurismo for ages. I've become a little deaf of late (I blame power tools), but I suggested that it might be nice to drag her old R170 SLK out of storage and use it for the summer. I have just finished recommissioning it, and it is at the valeter all day tomorrow. I'll try to get some pictures on Friday. Saved me a few quid too

It’s what I do mostly but I obviously didn’t hit the key word(s)Having to go external to find something on our forum is a little tedious but I wasn’t going to give up!
Well done on the cost saving , but I hate to tell you it's only temporary , keep an eye out for glossy brochures from Maserati . Looking forward to the SLK pics though .On the subject of SLK's, my wife is 50 next week. I bought her a CLK430 cabriolet for her 40th, and she has looked after it very well for the last ten years.

Last of the 170's were in the paint & rust era. My wife has a 171 SLK200K 2010 with 45K on the clock, now only worth about £10K.
Thats what I would go for.
Yours is immaculate, you must be very proud of it. A friend of mine has a 170 SLK350 2003, with 45K on the clock. No rust be gets any paintwork done straight away. A lot of car for the money.It's very true, sadly. Mine is the only one I've seen with no rust for a good few years now. I have a customer with a 2003 vivianite green which is probably the nicest after mine. It is only showing slight bubbling on the rear arch return lip. My car has only seen rain a handful of times in its life, and has the benefit of a coating of waxoyl applied with the arch liners out which I did the first week of ownership. I used to waxoyl the whole familys new cars back then!
Great look car.A couple more...
My old mum managed to sneak into this one!
Diesel convertible.....are you mad!
Why would a manufacturer put a diesel engine into a convertible, surely if you're buying a MB convertible you want to hear the engine?Then one can really hear that tractor engine rattling.....
