The last C-Class station wagon of the 203 series rolled off the assembly line at the DaimlerChrysler plant in Bremen on Thursday, marking a major milestone in the success story of the Mercedes Benz C-Class. Approximately 360,000 units of the C-Class station wagon have been sold since the model was launched in early 2001. The last vehicle produced at the plant, a black C230 Kompressor equipped with right-hand drive, will go to a customer in England.

The director of the Bremen plant, Rainer Genes, is satisfied with the work that’s been accomplished. “The Bremen plant is the only one in the Mercedes Car Group production network that makes C-Class station wagons,” he says. “I’m proud of the Bremen team, who have made a major contribution to this success story. Their know-how and dedication have put the ‘Made in Bremen’ label on every C-Class station wagon in the world.”

Interesting that this RHD C-Class was made in Bremen. AFAIK, all RHD W203 C-Classes were made in South Africa. Perhaps the estates are made in Germany? You learn something new everyday. :usa7uh:
