Had one of them, in British maroon as opposed to French maroon which is brownish. A great, fun car.

Thought it was a modified Jeep at first.

Mercedes-Benz 300TD​

Now that's the era I think of when I think about Mercedes quality: Spartan by 21st century standards, but comfortable and seemingly built to last forever. But the "TD" might as well stand for "Turtle Diesel" 😛

The TD five-banger was a tank. There ae a couple running around in my small town. Gelignite is the only way to stop them.

The proverbial "barn find"! I have never heard of this marque -- this one made its way from the UK obviously.

The proverbial "barn find"! I have never heard of this marque -- this one made its way from the UK obviously.

I drove it once while Uncle Dick was alive. He’d driven one while stationed in England; many years later he imported this one. It languishes in a garage at the home where he and his wife raised their children.

When I took this picture I was trying to convince my cousins and their husbands to make it roadworthy, and lived close enough to pitch in—an English car on the English side of the family in a town their mid-19th century prosperity in lumber and naval stores had founded—it could be used at family weddings, civic events, and more.

Now it’s a project for the next generation.

Here’s a photo of my MX5 at the home (which my cousins are trying to sell and which also needs restoration).
