I quite like the R63, but I do have form for odd vehicles having owned an X6 M ;) There's a silver R63 that's often parked round the corner from our place. I knew they were super rare, but didn't realise they were this rare. Only ever seen another one in the flesh, that one belonged to the CEO...

True to an extent, remember the Estate/Wagon typically has a premium of circa £1-2k too, but yes the gap between the W204 and W205 is starting to close. Anyone's guess which way things will go though, personally I quite like how the facelift W204 looks and feels.

Can't beat a super fast wagon though! Uber cool :) Sure does look like decent value given the apparent condition and uniqueness. Pretty certain these C63's are future classics. Road Tax and general maintenance may be £££ but think of the smiles per gallon!

Anyone recall what the asking price was? Looked stunning 🤩

Happy Birthday mate - hope you had a good one!

Thanks all - much appreciated :)

Welcome! As others have said that's a standard SLK. An AMG bodykit is what you're really looking for. However, as others have said, if you go down that route you'd need to look at upgrading the wheels and lowering the suspension to complete the look.

Forgot to include this link in my earlier post. Mercedes-Benz Online Service Booking Application This MB link should give you an indication on costs and quotes from local dealers.

Hi Mike, Hughes of Beaconsfield used to be very good too (although I've not used them for a while now, neither have my parents - as we've all defected to BMW now!). They were family owned, but they are now part of the Vertu Group (same as MB Slough). A little further afield another very good...

Sounds just like my daughter, bought her plate when she was just a few days old, 5 years to go! She's already thinking about her first car too, and is itching to drive :) Still need to source a plate for my youngest, but she's got even longer to wait (longer for me to save up for it too!).

That's lovely - she's a lucky girl!

Well said Bobby - sound advice - realistically that's what I'd do in the OP's position given the age and mileage of the car. As you say, at the very least, supplying the correct spec oil yourself can save a decent amount. Full MB history can be worth it's weight in gold should any goodwill...

As others have said, depends where about in Bucks you are. If you're in South Bucks, Wayne Gates in Harrow won't be too far. I've also used Wheels VT in High Wycombe in the past. Finally, Olly at PCS in Horndean is also well worth traveling to.

Wow! Congrats Abb, your C43 is truly stunning. Just read the whole thread, what an inspiration especially as you described yourself as being someone that wasn't hands on with this kind of thing to start with.

SOLD! Deposit taken, awaiting collection.
