I'm still here. February 2021 will be my 3 year ownership anniversary. I usually post in the W210 FB group and I lurk here.

This photo is from Radwood 2020 on Feb 29th 2020 (the last Radwood and last show I've been to before lockdown measures).

Still working through your emotions because I would sell to for 12k? You found a car... move on. If you had made a transaction on Coinbase on that date instead of this post you would have made some money.

Was meeting up with someone to buy some wheels today and noticed a c43 in the garage one block down the street.

Blacked out emblems lowered on some after market rims. Hood was open.

I got out of the car and yelled out a few times asking if anyone is there but no answer.

I’m sure the amount of them still out there is much more than you would expect. The potential for rust which spreads in states that lay heavy salt and Europe is most likely the worst culprit for a car like this.

In the w202 AMG Facebook group, I'm pretty sure idiotic MOT laws in the UK are the reason for half of them being sold as parts cars and disassembled. Every week you see a reasonably good C36/C43 being "broken for parts" because "MOT is due."

Cars with a few issues, yes, but would 100% be saved if they weren't in the UK.

I run 18x8.5 ET 35 square setup on a 225/40/18 tire on the Carlsson 2/6's. I purchased them on ebay in late 2019, and then spent a few weeks removing the machining on the lips which were pretty pitted. The goal is to run a staggered setup on the car, but I just need to find another set of wheels to complete a staggered set. I have also entertained the thought of converting these to 3 piece to just have new barrels and lips since if I damage one of these they are pretty much gone. The wheel's have date marks for 10/20/1998, so they are pretty period correct to the car which was my goal for my C43. I still have a factory radio too, but that sucker is about to be yanked out for a Continental unit.

These are photos from the Ebay ad showing the condition they were in which was pretty darn good considering their age.
