Met another MB diesel owner

Hello Everyone
Met another MB diesel owner at fuel station, got pictures.
Charles has a 1985 W123 300D.
Without pictures, nobody would believe, dash pad has no cracks and engine is clean.

Nice. My dash doesn't have any cracks either, and my brake fluid is a nice pale yellow not the maple syrup Charles has.... Hope you advised him on that? RT

There are some nice MB's in TN, that's where I picked mine up. Mine does have some minor cracking in the dash, but not a speck of rust any where on the car and clean engine also.
