I apologize for not having posting any pictures at this time. About six hours after I returned home with the car Murphy’s Law paid a visit for a days. Anyhow I will someday, soon, get pictures of the 1981 300D and my other Mercs.

One thing that I have noticed in comparing my 1981 to the 1985, as much as I like the power of the turbo 617 engine I really like the smoothness of the power of the non-turbo 617. No turbo surge, lag, or whatever you want to call it. I really like it.
