Spotted a c43

Yesterday I was driving home and seen a nice clean c43 wanted to stop him and check it out , first time I see one local kinda made my day
it’s always a good day when you get to see a rare c43 on the road ,makes you wonder how many are still out there . Spotted in Queens NY

Looks like you were not in your C43, correct? I usually tend to spot them when I'm not in mine. One time I came upon one on the highway when I was in mine and we cruised for a mile or two next to each other with big smiles and giving the thumbs up.

Spotted a lowered red C36 in really good shape in my old neighborhood in San Jose two weekends ago, but was busy moving, so I didn't have time to pull the C43 out and put them next to each other for a pic. Never saw the owner.

I love how we love our cars. I would love to have a 3rd C43. This time a silver one would be great.

I practically never see any around in my parts of the woods. Did see an immaculate C36 a couple of years ago and chatted to the owner who had it since new. Meeting a C43 could become a very rare occasion

We never got a count of all the c43 forum members ,been seeing our c43s popping up lately wonder if the numbers are actually right after 20 plus years
there seems to be a good amount still on the road . Great cars one of the best Mercedes ever built IMO
I always try to make time to drive mine as I don’t daily one , but would be nice to get a count of owners here on the forum
If someone has access to active members here on the forum , if everyone can post a updated pic of their c43

Ok so you just meant a true low mile c43 example like 40k 30k miles I got you
There is few out there but I’m sure more owners wouldn’t want to part with them
what would be the lowest mile c43 you have come across?

Just spotted a black C43 on Dolores Street in SF around lunch time today. Would have sworn it was mine except it was sitting a bit lower.
