Mercedes had each type of reverse lockout at various times in its history. My
'83 240D had the lift up and my '85 190D has the push down. I'll agree with you
I prefer the lift up.

I discovered a while back that 'Swedish engineering' has the same
connotations for Finns that 'Polish engineering' would for us English
speakers.
I do kinda prefer the Swedish 'pull up on the ring' reverse lock-outs
to
the German 'push down on the shift lever' ones, although the former are
admittedly much harder to operate when wearing mittens.

Thanks James,
I saw a SL320 on Ebay that claimed it had a V6. I've never had the
hood up on one, and that auction didn't have an under hood picture.
