Peter, no, I didn't own the car in question. I did once have a yellow 300D, also a white one. Before that, I had two 220Ds, (w115), and an old 220Sb (w 111). Currently, I have a dark green 300TD (station wagon, 1979, w 123), and a white 300SE (w 126, 1989.)

My in-laws used to live in Devonshire. My wife and I live in the older part of town, just off Prospect. Good to hear from someone close by.
