it says something about a quarry on the sign in the first one

i *love* wandering around old industrial ruins. we've got an old steel mill/blast furnace thats kind of like the mechanical sightseeing equal of a tree huggers national forest. wonderful stuff!

I drove one...a bit too small for my tastes (and size...I am 6'7")

Not bad little cars though...zippy and handle nice.

Yikes.

Does the SDL have more driver seat adjustment than the SD,
or is the extra legroom only available for the rear seat?

I'm 6'4" and I slide that baby all the way back and I love it!

Hello to everyone,
The pictures were taken in my father's stone quarry.I like to go there when I have some free time.(not to work)just walk around.
Here in MALTA a small Island in the Mediterranean sea,Now part of European Union,we have allot of these Quarries.We use the stones to built our houses.

Most of the time the Benz stays in garage.because I have an other car for everyday use.Here in Malta Mercedes are very high price cars and they keep the Value very high.It's not worthed for every day use.
I bought the Mercedes three years ago for 9000 Maltese Pounds.
1 Maltese Pound is 2.9 USD

MINE'S BIGGER THAN YOURS
My Ride, My Love !!

Wow, that is really exspensive for a 1980's car!
Beautiful but $26,100 is a heck of a lot. They really do keep there value there.

'76 300D (W115)
Sold, found again in less auspicious circumstances

I recently drove a 95 E300D and it felt like my knees were in my chin the entire ride.

Made me appreciate all the leg room my 300SD and 300D have!

If you felt that your knees were in your chin with a 95 E300D, wait till you drive a 190. You'll feel like your nuts are on top of your head

At 6'4" if you put the seat all the way back in a SWB (short wide body w126) then you will probably be close to if not past comfortable as far as seat goes.

I don't often run mine all the way back and I am 6'7" so I imagine you would fit fine in the swb w126.

Oh my $26k, that is a lot of jack! How big is the island?

If its warm I may want to move there.

What is the official language of Malta?
