Pictures Anyone?

My wife has decided that the next major purchase in the Fuzzball household is going to be a 300TD for her...she's tired of the van.

What I would like to do is get some really good pictures of some cars in different colors.

Anyone have any really good pix of their 300TD that they will be willing to share with me?

I want her to pick the one she wants, then print them out and put them in front of her just about anywhere she goes in the house. That will remind her that she has work to do to get what she wants.

Any help would be appreciated!!

(She likes Blue, Red and most any other color, but not real fond of White or Beige/tan.....yeah, I know, now I'm getting picky about the help I'm asking for, but...well, it's the wife....ya know?)

Once again, thanks!

It's a sedan, but I'm real partial to the blue/green color introduced late in the 123 run...

That's what my 82 300D looks like! except, it has chrome 15" flatface rims from a W107 or W126, and it has those chrome moldings on the fenders, and tinted windows, I wish I could get a pic of it posted soon, but I have no access to a camera now.

Wow, Thanks for the response folks.

I've liked each and every one of them....too bad we are limited to such small pix...I'd love to have 8X10's of them all.

Red Baron I think I saw a picture of yours on the net last night!

I personally love the Reds and Maroons....althought that Green/Blue was a great color.

The Blue is always a very dignified color and looks quite stately.

Anyone else?

Again, Thanks for the response.

Fuzzball, Where do you live ?
Did you know that a MB TD is a rolling Greenhouse ?
Did you know that MB's are famous for having marginal Air conditioners ?
Paint your wagon Snowberry White...

For some reason this pic makes it look like there's still silver paint on the wagon. Isn't it nice when your car is near the color of the base metal? sigh.......
