A member here really helped me out by hipping me to a gray market 300TD near Sta. Barbara, I bought it and still have it, SWMBO drives it and everywhere it goes, people comment on it and ask to buy it .

It's beige, I'da much rather had a pastel color but it is what it is .

I've been taking it back to original specifications, my KM speedo came and -was- near perfect but not quite good enough packaging caused the needle to get broken in transit from Russia .

I'll have it rebuilt and install it then only a couple more things to do .
If you want me to send you stuff from Holland we can talk about the pitfalls as well as the possibilities
