motorman3 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Typically, I refrain from sharing photographs of the automobiles I acquire; but, I am inclined to make an infrequent exception from this practice for the present vehicle due to its potential rarity. This particular vehicle is a Mercedes, which is noteworthy due to its unique characteristics. As a result, it may attract the attention of those associated with the MBClub community. Today, I acquired a Kleemann SLK 55K S8 automobile. I acknowledge that the vehicle I am referring to may seem less exciting in comparison to a Mercedes-AMG ForFour Black Series AMG Sport Plus Night Edition Premium Plus 125 Navi facelift equipped with Brabus enhancements. The automobile in question is a single-owner vehicle with little miles, displaying superb overall condition. The purchase was made via a former AMG technician who adheres to very high standards, and any components that did not satisfy his rigorous criteria were replaced. The Mercedes vehicle first left the factory equipped with a normally aspirated 5.4 litre M113 V8 engine. However, it underwent further modifications by Kleemann, which included the addition of a supercharger, as well as the replacement of the camshafts and the whole exhaust system, including headers and racing catalytic converters. During its day, the aforementioned vehicle was sometimes labeled as the "Baby SLR" because to its F1-inspired front design, comparable power output (but not identical), and the distinctive combination of a deep-chested exhaust note and the whine of a supercharger. Both the inside and exterior exhibit a conventional design, devoid of any indications about the contents concealed within the vehicle's engine compartment. The vehicle has an Obsidian Black exterior hue complemented with a two-tone nappa leather inside in black and red, which is well preserved. The wheels have an alternative five-spoke design as opposed to the often seen "Turbine" type. I am inclined towards the use of turbines, however I would consider the possibility of acquiring a suitable set of 19-inch AMG IV wheels.

mrnobady Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 It is remarkable to observe that the subject in question remains unaltered, with the exception of the nuclear mass situated under the vehicle's hood. I would very appreciate it if you could provide inside photographs at your convenience, Rob. Additionally, it would be beneficial to have a visual representation of the engine bay.

Ken_Lion Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 The automobile is highly commendable, with a personal preference for wheels over turbines. Regardless of the choice, it is anticipated that the driving experience will be exceptional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenkeyte Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Is the suspension considered to be within the norms or standards? It seems that the geometry of the object in question exhibits a little variation, namely in the form of increased negative camber. However, it is possible that just the pictures are sufficient.

Black_raven Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 The situation is quite pleasant. Are there any modifications to the suspension, or is it in its original factory condition? I also possess a preference for wheels over turbines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMGRS Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 This object is aesthetically pleasing. I concur with the prevailing sentiment: the rims exhibit a notable efficacy. The rounded contours of the vehicle are aesthetically enhanced by the smooth contours of the wheel spokes. Additional photographs would be much appreciated at your earliest convenience. Well done, Mr. BD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doncaster34 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 The aesthetic appeal of the subject matter is undeniably captivating. However, it is regrettable that there is a lack of visual representation of the internal components and the nappa interior. This vehicle does not fully resemble an adapted milk float.
