SD vs. D
Can anyone tell me, in brief, what the difference is between the 300SD, and the 300D?

The 300SD is a short wheelbase version of the W126 chassis. Your car is a W123. Its like an E class and an S class today. Both are made by mercedes, they may share engines, they may share minor components, but at the base of it, they are totally different cars.
Is that what you mean?

OP, the SD is a more refined vehicle. larger footprint on the road, and more comfort features in the car. usually have leather seats, electric seats, ALWAYS a turbo vehicle. roomier inside, etc...

Some versions of the 300SD have a better kitchen than the 300D.

One looks like a Mercedes and the other looks like a taxi cab.
Both are tractors at heart, ie OM617
