It's been a brief hiatus but I'm back with a one owner 1991 350SDL. I'm still living in Dubai and have been daily driving a G500 for about a year now. I recently could not pass up a one owner 1991 350SDL in my hometown of Houston. Here is the run down.
European delivered car. Has all european delivery documents and brochures and order sheets. Delivered through Intercontinental Motors (now North Houston Mercedes). Could not pass the car up and it has a few unique options I figured everyone would appreciate.
Desert Taupe/ Creme Beige
1. Velour interior
2. Electric rear window shade
3. Orthopedic front seats.

Car has been garage kept since new. 211,000 miles. Orange dials and no rear window delimitation. Original paint in great shape. Interior is a 10 of 10. Everything works (yes the orthopaedic seats/ locks/ antenna/ windows/ climate control/ roof/ windows). The original owner was a well known developer in Houston who passed away in 2015. His grandson has kept the car in a climate control garage since. He serviced it to get it ready for the sale. I've put it through the shop to have the following work done.
1. Re-upholster the vinyl trim around the seat belts.
2. Replace a leaking steering box.
3. Shifter bushings ( thank you leaky steering box).
4. Various cosmetic things (floor mats, buff/wax) new rear tail light lenses. Replace aftermarket radio with original Becker with Aux cable.

What can I say I'm a sucker for these diesels. Especially a one owner with all papers. I know its a rod-bender but I plan to drive this car on a trip to Burning Man from Texas this Summer. Here are some before photos. After photos will come later.
