Lets get a roll call on the 300SDs!

Calling all W116, W126, and W140 diesel owners! I've seen how the 240D roll call is coming along (nicely), and I want to know how many 300SDs we have here. I'm talking about 78-85(W116 and W126), and 92-93(W140). No 300SDLs, 350SDs or SDLS, or S350s, just 300SDs.
I will go first.

Silberdistel green 1981 300SD (w126) Mileage is unknown, around 200K plus. The odometer broke at 198K.

You know, of course, the 300SD of 92-93 is actually a W140 350SD. Yes, it is not a 3 liter.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!

Ok, although a W140 300SD is actually a 3.5L 350SD and S350, it's badged as a 300SD which I think is an unforgivable error by MB. Nevertheless, it says 300SD on it. So, only MBs badged as 300SDs please.

1983 300SD with 176000 miles with a tan velour interior. Purchased about one year ago, the same day I got engaged! The car is truly amazing (and so is my wife).

I put in the euro headlights, new shocks, oil cooler lines and a dash rheostat.
