I have an original single sheet (page 8) Car & Driver, November 1981 ad for the 240D. I picked it up on eBay a couple of weeks back with the intention of hanging it in the garage. Then I thought, “why not share?” So…to all on the forum, please email me at 4Griffin@comcast.net (not my profile email) with the subject: 240D Advert. if you would like me to send the files to you.

I have it scanned as a .pdf and a .jpg

Not knowing what may work best, I’ll just send both file types. They are both pretty big files, so they should look very good if printed, certainly very legible text. On the .pdf file you can even see a little water stain on the corner of the scanned image.

Ad Title: “The Mercedes-Benz 240D: the $20,000* car that puts you not in the lap of luxury but in the hands of science.”

Sub-title: “Luxury trappings can’t cut running costs or prolong car life or make driving safer. Technology can – as witness that 1½-ton mobile efficiency system, the 240D.”

Best,

Clay

I believe each of these cars are the final production year for that model.

Clay,

Cool. I sent you an email.

Thanks!
