Well, here it is. Euro, manual HV and 5 speed. Somebody in New Jersey may have nice 300D in their garage soon.

Just to confirm....this is your car?

I think this is a 4+reverse 5 spd. Also it doesn't have a sunroof? Does have power mirrors?

No, sorry for the unclear post. It just seems that these are the "holy grail" cars for those of us who take a minimalist approach to mercedes diesels.

The bumpers are not Euro, those are definitely USA type, strange.

It was properly federalized. The interior is velour. euro option only. As well as the center console. Maybe in wreck? Def euro though.

I agree it looks Euro too me. Those are the "cloth" seats WITHOUT MB tex making up the outer panels (hard too keep the seats looking clean) It looks to me like it has a sunroof.

Both my euros have manual sunroofs

It is also a 5 speed. On 4 speeds reverse is all by itself on the left, here 2nd gear is visible below 1st (top left)

Looks like a nice car. Those cloth seats are really easy to remove stains and fell good to boot. My 81 is basically identical but with euro lights all around, bumpers and the 4 speed. These cars are awesome without AC and cruise control. It is amazing how uncluttered the engine bay is.

Good luck on the sale, I'm sure whoever purchases it will really enjoy the car.

Interesting. I'd much rather had the manu over power sunroof in mine. On the stick I just cant clearly see the 5th position. 2nd is always visible below 1st which is in top left right? (except for reverse which is always top left?)

Just to clarify once again. This isn't my car. I just posted because many seem to be interested in the euro models especially with the 5 speed. Maybe one of the board members living in New Jersey is selling this car or will buy it.
