It started right up but may have already been warm. You could tell that its not a gasolene engine when its running, but the sound is nothing like the truck engine in the W123. We didn't go out on the highway - it seemed to have good power on the city streets.

Is the engine in this car the same as the turbo that went in the '87 190D? Also, does this car have some kind of trap oxidizer or catalytic converter?

Supposed to take delivery tommorrow and drive it home - will know a lot more after that.

TD I saw your CV - nice car. Probably not as cheap to drive as the 300D but fun....
