My wife and I were shopping for a cup holder that didn't alter the Mercedes and was resonable, we happened upon this one, I think less than two bucks at your local Wally World. It fits perfectly between the seat and the console, it just sort of wedges between and rests against the seat belt latch, it works perfect. It's not attached in any way.
Just thought I would pass along to anyone that has been shopping for a simple solution for a place to set your coffee.
Enjoy,
Frank

Ive been using two of those since I got my car a couple of years ago....one in the same place you have yours, and the other in the door catch-all. They work fine, as long as you use a covered cup.....sadly, SWMBO doesn't like the covers....needless to say, I keep a lot of paper towels around too!!!

Now, if my interior looked like yours, I'd insist on covers or she would walk...but unfortunately, it looks like the po didn't much care about anything...

Holy ish ! is that a w123 ? If so it's very very clean for being that old.

I consider I have one of the cleaner ones around but this one is very nice.

not a W123. id say an E300D or something of that era

It looks to me like an SDL...but I'm no expert....just basing that on the center console and doors...

Looks like a 350SDL to me.

Excellent condition, too.

Either a 350SD or SDL perhaps... Looks almost exactly like like the interior of my '91 350SD! See....

I'll bet it's a 1991 350SDL with... oh...uh..75,600 miles on it from the looks of the upholstery and carpet.






(and the fact I read some of his previous threads.. )

I have a habit of keeping the cup in my hand until it's empty, then sticking it behind the lever so it doesn't tip over and drip.

Now THIS, is a poor man's cup holder! (might wanna tint your windows though)
