Imperial red c43 finally

Not sure if many of you remember me here but I used to have a white c43 about 4-5 years ago and haven't been on here since.. after selling it I regretted it so I was on the hunt for another... I ended up buying the white one back and selling it, bought a silver one, then a black one and last week, I finally came across a beautiful imperial red one... I've read the other few posts about red c43s but I'd like to know if anyone else knows how many there are or if there nearly as common.. this is the first one I've seen other then one on google. Any input would be appreciated and hope to keep you guys posted on any new updates as I get her together

Congrats on the find. I've seen some general numbers in the past, but I wasn't able to locate them with a quick search. I have seen one or two in red before, but they're pretty rare for sure.

Looks like you could start a w202 C43 museum. Three in one ownership is something special I imagine. Good job that man

Looking at the photos again, the only thing which bugs me is the Star in the middle of the grille. IMO it should not be there, but I guess each to his own.
Second bug is for the black C43. Where is the exhaust??

How does it drive after being lowered? Does it wander around?

It drives great, got a front alignment done and kept stock bolts but castor was adjusted and made it ride just right, smooth and low. yet
