to all,

IF those of us with "Euro-spec" 300D (non turbo) qualify, even with an auto trans, count me in.

i took the 300D out for a run this weekend, between bouts with bronchitis.

FUN (one owner) car!!!

btw, i "got a lead on" a "one off" W126/300SD chassis, with a COUPE body by TOURING of Italy on Friday.
(IF it's what i was told it is, it's a REALLY rare coupe.)

will let you know IF it turns out to be a REAL "one off".
(i'll believe it when i see it.)

note: i once owned a 2600CC Alfa Romeo with a Touring drophead body. they made FIVE of those.
(a W126 diesel coupe would undoubtedly be rarer. like perhaps ONE of ONE.)

yours, tn46

Hold on there, the requirements are a manual five speed. There are other clubs for "REALLY rare coupes" and Euro spic 300s that may or may not require a trunk triangle for admittance

Got the 5-speed; I just need to get my trunk triangle mounted. It's sitting in the back seat of my parts car at the moment.

Possibly, but it's a four-speed, no trunk triangle -- and no trunk!

Let's see some pics, John -

vstech;stevo;lutzTD,

to stevo: in as much as Lutz's TD is acceptable to you with NO trunk & NO triangle, i'd guess that i should "get an inferiority complex" & go pout.

besides, a total of 3 possible members is a really small club - thought they might get "lonely".

lol.

yours, tn46

Due to the possible low numbers, you may just need to join three clubs, the Triangle, 5 spd, and Euro club.
