I've had my Lapis Blue '84 300SD since new, now with 242500 miles. I've begun doing more of my own maintenance and repairs on it thanks to this forum.

81 300SD, single owner car from Seattle, bought last September with 109k miles, currently 120k. Previous owner upgraded to Euro lights and an Alpine head unit. I've added 5 new Bridgestones (spare was the original P3, never out of the trunk) and new Bilsteins all around, as well as new speakers.

i had a '78 with about 350K miles before it died - out of oil on the highway. i now own a '84 with 198K on it, the color is champaigne i think. clear corners, different tail lights and sound stuff, need euro headlights soon.

Doing hard duty every day

Straight off e-bay to Texas. Changed fluids, adjusted valves, replaced a few minor parts and put on the road about 70 miles per day to work and back. So far 27mpg average. This was yesterday:



Just a brief update:

1. Replaced R&L guide rod mounts myself two week-ends ago

2. Replaced oil cooler hoses last week-end--but removing old
hose from oil cooler stripped threads off the oil cooler fitting (ouch)--getting used one from Houston for good price.

Ned2683,

We used to call that color "****brendel" LOL

I have never seen an MB that color. Must be that not too many buyers ordered that color.
