Re: [MBZ] Too young for a Wagon?

Sure is small, was my first impression of my 85 TD. I really like to drive it and I love its versatility but my first MB was an 86 SDL and I always go back to that, spoiled I guess. When time allows, I'll make some repairs and Ebay it. Harry Watkins Newton, MS 86 SDL Silver 85 300D Euro 86 SDL
