200D

A good friend had a 67 200D for about 2 years- I drove it and took care of it mainly, so I pretty much considered it mine...

It was papyrus white over a medium blue tex interior, about 98k miles, all original condition- a good daily driver condition (even placed in the daily driver class at MBCA car show in Boston, MA before we sold it).

It had 4 on the floor- all we did to it was a new clutch, and I put a starter in it (kind of necessary after 2 Boston winters w/o a block heater). I remember driving that car was such a workout, especially compared to my 126 chassis 300SD. In dead of winter, between fighting with the manual steering and shifting like a madman to keep up with traffic, I'd reach my destination a sweaty mess, coat thrown into the backseat... Driving that car was an absolute blast. She moved in town, and didn't want it to get destroyed, so we sold it to a couple in NH who made many updates to make it perfect. Wish I could see it again.
