I have a euro hitch for my W124
There was a factory hitch for the W123, surely someone has a copy
lying about. I have one on the old W108, but I'm sure it won't fit.

No idea, but I suspect not easy/cheap. You'd need to do a side-by-side
comparison with a euro car to really find out, unless someone else has BTDT.

So the American hitch attaches to sheetmetal trunk
The factory hitch bolts to the support members under the floor of the
trunk. Holes are already there, it's a standard frame hitch. A
bumper hitch won't work.
Any place that makes custom hitches should be able to work one up for
you.

Looks like the 1 1/4 hitch that Curt Mfg sells for the 210 wagon, but in 2.
Curt's sedan hitch is different, bolts to the bottom of the spare tire well.

THAT is a good idea! I would have considered that if I had your talent and
tools.

Looks very similar to both my euro hitches (123 124). Short arms go inside
car, parallel to direction of travel, in or near uni-body rails for lack of a
better term.

it lined up fine. What a huge difference they make. Wicked smooth now. I
love how errthing on this 240 is so much easier to get to than on the 300D.

I think Max is talking about the hitch on a wagon and you are
talking about one on a sedan. The one that attaches to the
floor is in a sedan and the bumper attach point one is on a
station wagon, as far as I have seen anyway.
That's because what's the floor in the sedan is a fuel
A coleman versatrailer is light and quite handy. For what you are
mentioning, it would be ideal. Very versatile.
Any reputable trailer hitch place should be able to install a hitch.
1 1/4 receiver is a good size, but they rarely stay removable. My
van had one and it took a lot of beating
You should be able to get a hitch in there. It would likely be mounted under
the trunk, straddling the fuel tank and bolted to the sheet metal of the trunk.
U-haul shop figures it out. My sister had one added to her 1999 volvo wagon
this summer for about $400. Might need all of a 1.5 ball,
