MB records the 4 spd manual cars of this era to top out at 138 km/h, about 83 MPH. The 4 spd automatic was 133 km/h, about 80 MPH. Different size tires or speedometer error could explain some of the difference, if not all of it. No difference was noted between Euro or US cars, which my info source is very good at stating.
