This 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLK 350 (R171) is a beautifully presented example of Mercedes-Benz’s compact V6 roadster, finished in Obsidian Black Metallic (197U) and paired with the rare Tobacco Brown Semi-Aniline Nappa leather interior (844A)—a highly unusual and desirable colour combination seldom seen on Australian-delivered cars.
Remarkably, the car has had just two owners from new over the past 21 years, and has clearly been carefully maintained throughout its life.
Delivered new by Worrells Mercedes-Benz of Toorak, Victoria, this SLK has travelled just 80,450 kilometres from new and is accompanied by two original remote keys, along with its complete factory books, manuals, and original logbook. The vehicle was serviced by the supplying dealer up to 45,000km (2009) before relocating to Sydney, where it has since been exclusively maintained by Silver Star Mercedes-Benz, a well-regarded independent Mercedes specialist. The most recent service was completed in 2025 at 80,355km.
Power is provided by the 3.5-litre naturally aspirated V6 engine, producing approximately 200kW, delivering smooth and responsive performance through the 7-speed automatic transmission to the rear wheels. The SLK 350 represents the sweet spot of the R171 range, offering a noticeable uplift in performance over the SLK 300 while retaining the refinement expected of the marque.
Factory Options & Equipment
In addition to its strong standard specification, this example is equipped with a desirable selection of factory features, including:
oAIRSCARF system (heated neck-level ventilation)
oParktronic front and rear parking sensors
oMemory Package (electric seats with memory)
oHeated front seats
oMultifunction steering wheel with gearshift paddles

The interior presents in very good condition, with the Tobacco Brown Semi-Aniline leather showing minimal wear and offering a rich, premium contrast to the Obsidian Black exterior. The folding Vario-Roof operates perfectly, allowing the car to transition seamlessly from coupe to open-top roadster.
Well optioned, low-kilometre, and offered with an exceptional two-owner history, this SLK 350 represents an increasingly hard-to-find naturally aspirated V6 Mercedes roadster in original, unmolested condition—ideally suited to the enthusiast or collector seeking a properly maintained example with strong provenance. Registration in NSW is until June 2026.
