I was trying to figure out the zeroes-wonder if it refers to options?  I
don't ordinarily hang around Barrett auctions.  Well maybe Babbsie likes the
open air diesel smell and noise-might remind her of New York. (No flames _I
lived in NYC for three years and loved it.)

Wow, a 200hp, zero cylinder 300CD. 
Barrett's must not be experts on 617 engines. 
I wonder if the part about only two made, Babbsie has
the other one is true.

I'd rather fit a OM603 into an SL chassis.  I love the coupe and all, but a 
diesel SL would be light years more fun:D

I think that if I were going to go to all that work I would see about 
fitting a mechanically controlled IP with a proper ALDA onto a 
turbocharged OM606 and shoehorning a holset and big intercooler in there 
(a la www.teamrwd.com -- they are psychotic. 425hp OM606!)

If you can shoehorn it into a 190E
