2000 Mercedes-Benz C43 estate | Manchester, Cheshire

A 2000 Mercedes-Benz C43 estate, the C-Class load-carrier fitted by AMG with a 4.3-litre V8. The model is known for pairing restrained late-1990s styling with 302 bhp, and it was the first AMG car assembled at a Mercedes-Benz factory. This car is blue with a black interior, a sober combination that looks sleek and understated on camera. The estate body gives a long, level roofline and a wide tailgate, which suits shots that need space around the car and room to carry equipment. Photography and fashion and editorial shoots suit its quiet profile against modern or period backdrops. Film and TV productions can use it as a fast, grown-up family car, and events can use its load space for luggage or kit. For a wedding or personal hire it offers a modern, low-key arrival. It is based in Manchester, Cheshire.
