Saw a C55 today

[tinkypot]

I just saw my first C55 today on the A27 near Brighton...

It was a S(?)203 in black sounding lovely and burbley, being driven (slowly) by a nice blonde lady

Seen a few C43 estates and saloons around here, but this was my first C55 in any shape. It was also right hand drive. I thought they were extremely rare? 4-5 in the country right?

Should of taken a pic, but I was drooling too much

Very jealous I was!

I've drove one about 12 month ago, TBH I wasn't that impressed. It was quick in a straight line but I found it flighty and unstable, A complete bitch with the traction off. Its just soooooo much more with a supercharger bolted on the side a.l.a. E55

4 or 5 of the W202 C55s from 1999. Not sure if any S202s exist. 203s are much more 'common'.

Sounds like that'll be a good road trip, Howard.

I know a good route to Cornwall for a C55. Via John O'Groats.
