Lousy wheels

 

[C43AMG]

No Reserve ?? As you have said extensive write up Wheels would be okay if all one colour. To good to be true !!

Thats only the std wheels with a hideous paint job though, look past the wheels very nice looking car, not sure on the grill but again a minor detail.

Its the same as the one on here the other day doesnt look like it got the tip box.

Defo no tip box as its a 99 model... the Tip came out in 2000 i think as my old 2000 C240 had a tip box...

The only 43's i have seen with the tip box were on a "W" plate, registered 2000 does,nt mean 2000 model.

Another one i've HPI'd - comes back as FOUR previous owners i.e. current is the FIFTH - advert says THREE owners. HMMM...

Plus, emailed the seller re. "service history included" to ask if all MB dealer, the reply was thus -

No m8 only part, the rest of the service history is from my local garage.Thanks for intrest.

Think i'll avoid

When you talk about "tip" box you mean you can select the gears 1,2,3 & 4 correct? Well my C43 is a december '99 and it has this.

Mine is a "W" reg without Tip, must have been built 1999.

Don't the data cards on the russian site have the build dates?

Just checked, no only the delivery date which in my case was 08/01/1999 and was first registered 14/03/2000.

Where was it for fifteen months ??

Older box actually had 1234 in a line behind the gearlever, later boxs you just knock the lever to the left for downchange and right for upchange.

Pic not of my car but best i can find with clear view of gearlever.

Big classic car meet near Watford:

Fair and classics to visit Croxley Green (From Watford Observer)

Nice afternoon for it, so I thought I'd head up there, leaving shortly.

If anyone else is going give me a call and we'll have a mini meet...

 

[C43AMG]

I am going, be there about 12.00.

I wonder if Andy the paint guy is going? I picked my CLK55 up from him and he was taking his Anglia somewhere this weekend.

How did the CLK come out, up to the same standard as last time?

 

[Will]

Pretty good - you can have a look next weekend (I'm not sure I can make the meet later)

I ended up doing a bit more than I anticipated mind (££££) - just got back from holiday too so it's been an 'expensive' month
