Another W123
 

I looked at a 1981 300D today. I am very storngly considering it. I should know for sure by next Wednesday.:P

Pictures?

If I get it I will post some pictures. I am half way through my two weeks off and I have a ton of things to get done. Getting my E300 repaired threw a wrench into my schedule.

The owner called tonight and accepted the offer. I hope the have the car have and have some pictures posted by Saturday.

Yeeeeeeeeee Haaaaaa
 

I have the 'new' 1981 300D.:D
It drives fantastic. The power difference without the turbo is less than I excepted when compared to my 1985 300D.

I will post so pictures today. I am thinking of putting them in the gallery.

My wife likes the car!?!?!?!?!? Yet she does not like the 1985:confused:

We have a short hair Saint Bernard. He is mostly white and cream color with some grey. My father told me that I now need to buy another black or grey 300D because I bought a white one and now a cream one. He thinks that I need one for every color of the dog.:silly:

ive got an anthacrite grey 300D... trade for something ;) like an E300D with a slight problem

I apologize for not having posting any pictures at this time. About six hours after I returned home with the car Murphy’s Law paid a visit for a days. Anyhow I will someday, soon, get pictures of the 1981 300D and my other Mercs.

One thing that I have noticed in comparing my 1981 to the 1985, as much as I like the power of the turbo 617 engine I really like the smoothness of the power of the non-turbo 617. No turbo surge, lag, or whatever you want to call it. I really like it.:)
