Car of the week

[Michel]

This one is for Patrick.
Sounds good value!

Freshly painted. Been in storage for decades. Engine rebuilt about 10,000 miles prior.

Now that REALLY is car of the week. No run-flats; no need to park with care; no need to worry about speeding fines; park in a loading zone...
If I had room I would truly want this.
Imagine the look on the face of the service consultant when you rock up to Mercedes-Benz Sydney and ask for an A service. Priceless.
Regards,
Brian

That'd be cool with a fifth wheel motor home.

Lol
That is a gem Michel.
A true legend truck.

Oh and guess what Brian.
Most of these 180hp trucks were 6 speed manuals!
Right up your alley mate.
The bigger ones with 2 sets of drive wheels were 10 speed, even better.

I was laughing loudly thinking about you in the queue of the service department

You’re right Ant, a massive motor home behind this gem, un hitch, then drive into town.

It would also be cool to see it at the annual Mercedes-Benz club display day/concours.

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh NO.

I’ve been working with trucks for 43 years now, and the very last thing I would ever do is own one

However I have to agree, it would be the coolest vehicle on display.
Especially with a straight through exhaust

One for Patrick. The Corona Virus.
