The Fakebook page said "something is wrong" and won't show me the car.
Andrew is correct, if it's a '77, it's a 450SL, or a Euro 300SL with an

2020-12-03 Thread Randy Bennell via Mercedes

Too many issues right now with COVID etc.
Plus, that is a nice car but not exactly what I want.
I have the old 115 300D. If I were going to look for another old MB it 
would be the bigger turbo diesel sedan, the 300SD, or a 123 turbo diesel 
sedan. but I am not likely to do that either. I don't really want to 
give up the one I have and unlike some of you folks, I don't have a 
"vast estate" so I have no place to park another one.
