A real Tijuana special for sure.

No, no dingle berries on this one. I would have been sure to take pictures of that! It may have had the bobble head chihuahua but the owner probably took it for his replacement car.

There are things I would consider doing to modify my car but nothing this extreme and surely not as poorly executed. The guy couldn't tell the difference between a gas model gauge cluster and a Diesel cluster so he had no business messing with the car in the first place. A Jaguar logo in a 300SD is a mark of shame not only on the car but on the owner as well. Jags are fancy cars with bells and whistles but in my experience, which is limited, they do not compare to a Mercedes Diesel on a reliability standpoint.

The return line hack was definitely notable enough to take a picture of. The window switches are not new but seemed OK. The reason I have not yet grabbed them is because I do not believe a 1983 300SD had two position memory seating. I'm pretty sure mine never did unless the switches were downgraded by a PO. I'm not sure they would work in my car but I do need new seat switches.
