European 300TD?
I think I may have just missed out on a great deal: this '83 300TD on eBay didn't even go past the $5K mark!
Does anyone out there know anything about this car? It seems to be Euro-spec, with a manual climate control system, Euro headlights and no sunroof. And what's with the lack of badges on the rear gate?! Damn, I feel dumb for not bidding on this: I thought it would climb to $8 or $9K

If it was a Euro 300TD, it may have been a non-turbo;
if it was just listed as a W123 diesel wagon, it may even have been a 4 cylinder. I saw several such in Norway earlier in June, along with many W123 gasburner wagons.

It could have been a turbo, "TheBenzBar" has a 300TDT Euro, it's beautiful.
