Against GSXR's persistent counsel, I have ventured into W123 world. Just picked up a nice condition 1983 240D manual, white on palomino. Man, am I glad to drive a manual again! It's been about nine years!!

Looking forward to getting acquainted with it. A bunch of pics are at MB240D - Zebulonminor's Photos
