Description
The Mercedes 300SD is from California, with its original registration number. In Hungary, it was inspected by a museum before the test and was given a gold card for its condition. Unbroken, everything is original. No repairs, just the usual replacements / brake, oil,/ Serviced, factory invoice and history with documents.
A rare nice car. Mercedes Benz W126 is a rare turbodiesel version for the Japanese and American markets. The W126 series had an important mission: to reclaim the title of the world's best car. The 2998 cc engine is a 105 kw Turbo Diesel . This rarity is in its original form and is museum registered. Everything is factory and original , unbroken , only the leather seats are discolored from the California heat like 39 years ago .
The second generation of the Sonderklasse was officially introduced in September 1979 and was considered the pinnacle not only of comfort and elegance but also of safety. Its passenger cell, surrounded by crumple zones, remained intact even in a frontal collision at 55 km/ h. An aristocratic saloon welcomes passengers with its chunky, comfortable armchairs, quilted carpets
and walnut trimmings. At idle, the diesel organ of the turbodiesel engine, and especially the characteristic 'surge' of the five cylinders, can still be heard, but as the revs are increased, the ticking disappears, the ride smoothes out and the sound becomes a subdued, turbine-like roar. It can maintain a cruising speed of 130 km/ h without effort, while its on-road consumption is around 9. 0 litres, and even in mixed use it can manage around 12 litres per 100 kilometres (as the German Spritmonitor user average of 10. 5 litres attests). Experts estimate the engine's capacity at 1. 5 million kilometres. Its use may be constant, but my "General" is in a closed garage from October to March.
