Overview
Model:............C43
Year:..............1998
Mileage:.........35,987 (but will increase as I still use the car)
Tax expires:....March 2012
MOT expires:..December 2012
An enthusiast owned C43 which has some interesting modifications. The supercharger was fitted by Birds and increases the power from 306bhp to 433bhp. Including the wheels, this work cost £15,000.
The car also has a professional Alpine hi-fi installation. This is the only work without receipts but cost an estimated £10,000. If that sounds a lot, bear in mind that the amp alone was £3,000, and the install is extremely tidy - check the alcantara lined boot.
All the major W202 issues are in hand – the body is free of rust, the gearbox has been rebuilt and the expensive brakes were replaced 1500 miles ago.

Nb. the car covered few miles from 01-04 as it spent much of this time stored with Birds.
Other significant work
Date..........Work undertaken
11/10/99.....Spirit Supercharger conversion by Birds
Unknown....Professional Alpine audio install
05/10/07.....Partial engine rebuild by Birds (due to damage from incorrect ECU remap)
22/01/10.....Gearbox rebuilt (due to water contamination)
06/06/10.....Discs and pads replaced front and back. Air flow sensor replaced.
13/09/10.....Front bumper repainted due to stone chips + other cosmetic work
14/09/10.....New tyres front and back (4 x Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta)
Condition
The bodywork is in very good condition with no dents. The wheels are unmarked.
The interior is also in great shape and reflects the mileage of the car. Everything works with the exception of the parktronic system. Star advises that 2 front sensors are faulty so this will be looked at as part of the 4th May service.
Otherwise, the car wants for nothing.
Running costs
Cheap road tax at £205/year.
Insurance costs me £675/year with the modifications detailed.
Other items
2 Clifford alarm fobs, and all 3 Mercedes keys. All hi-fi remote controls and manuals included.
I have looked after the car with Autoglym products. The car was machine polished with Autoglym Super Resin polish and sealed with Jetseal 109 on 16th April by a professional detailer (Further Reflections Vehicle Detailing).
I have maintained the car regardless of expense - I’ve spent more than £18k over the last 4 and a half years. The car has always been warmed up properly and driven with care.
Located near Roundhay Park, Leeds, West Yorkshire.
Inspections welcome.
Please only serious enquiries and no scams or canvassers.
