Indeed. I love ours. Quartz blue is my favourite. I’ve owned a coupe in this colour in my time too. Took this pic on a recent sunny day picnic with the family. Perfect picnic car.To be fair I think even 430 cabs weren’t that common?

How do they drive? Im sure Olly mentioned to me years ago that they weren’t as stiff as the W209?
No, old wafter. Sit back and cruise with a v8 woofle soundtrack. Very relaxing old thing. Certainly not a sportscar. Enough grunt though
I had a quartz blue CLK320 convertible too .. bought from Stockholm and driven home. in those days, there were huge waiting lists
it was a great car. Very fast and very stable. I loved it. I replaced it with a CLK55

Yes I fitted the Azev A's
That CLK55 looks nice but not sure what type of buyer it's going to appeal to at that money. I'm with Jobsworth, I bought my CLK430 earlier this year and have just enjoyed wafting around with the roof down on fair weather days. I have an Eisenmann exhuast on order which should give a nice V8 burble and add to the 'waft factor' quite nicely, all for Fiesta money.

Later got myself a lovely quartz blue CLK320 cab which ended up with lots of options
and that’s when I first met Richard and we started Comand

My coupe was quartz/orion, which although nice felt perhaps a little cold. My cab is quartz/siam, which I’ve never seen another. It has a slightly warmer feel to the interior colour
