Maybe it could be a 200CD import?
There was one on fleabay back a while ago in Australia.
I have never seen such a thing as a 200CD. If there was one down under, it probably was some sort of a homemade conversion.
CD models were not even available with diesel application back in Deutschland. They would be 230's or 280's, period.

But maybe there were some rare and awkward export varieties.

Has it been mentioned whether this is an automatic or manual shifter? Just curious.

on bw it looks like he started taking pics around 12ish in the afternoon... but over here he woke up after 2... one reply on bw is asking for a pic of the car... and he responds that if he posts pics of the car he wants friending... um, whAT?

and the "more pics" he has posted on bw are ... two shots of the inside of his trunk lid...

I'm seriously close to locking this thread...

Didn't see it there. ... Even asked the technicians if there was a white 300cd, they said no.

Let me repeat that there was no C123 at barrier not a gasser not a diesel... NO C123!

Well, not sure what the guy (English Bulldog's) question is, but the interior shots of the MB Tex look beautiful! If cared for out of the sun - that MB Tex is a beautiful thing!

I like Bulldogs. They are sweet dogs. I especially like the solid off-white colored ones as I believe the University of Georgia's mascot Bulldog is, in Athens, GA.

I'd rather have that CD than the Bulldog. Just in case there was a choice to be made.

Nice car! White over tan is a fantastic combo. We should see a front shot as well.

He sure managed to keep the tension up during his presentation.
