R172 SLK250
Hello from Australia
Hello MB World Members,

My name is James and I love Mercedes SLK's. I have two R172's - SLK200 and SLK250.

I think I may be the first person in the World to convert a rare, possibly the only manual in the country into an automatic!

Hopefully, I will get to know more about these fantastic and fun cars as I delve into the resources of this forum.

Regards, James.

Nicely polished and touched up Fireball Red.
