No, that is not me. The ATC (Altteilecenter) gets all the old testmules. It ist amazing, how many W 220 the desintegrate.

It used to be, that schools would get old test cars. A friend of mine has one of the first 240 D 3.0. Build in 1972 it started as a 200 D and got one of the first OM 617 in Versuch Untertürkheim.

Very interesting car. Had only 30 000 km on the clock when it was auctioned of at his school.


The funny thing is, when he asked Mercedes about the history of that car, they denied the engine swap and asked him to put the OM 615 back in again.


The car is a beauty, it also got leather interior and automatic transmission and many other items at Versuch







Kind regards
