Hi from Zuid Holland - Netherlands.

Hi All.

A Canadian Nomad currently living in Zuid Holland Netherlands.
Own a 1974 Mercedes Benz 220D with a 240D motor. 4 Speed Manual, in light green with cream interior and backdated steering wheel.

I'm also mechanically inclined and like building my own cars and motorcycles and learning how to maintain every vehicle I own. I also prefer older cars over brand new ones.

Cheers
Ron

Welcome to MBWorld. Where in South Holland are you? The Hague? The location above looks awfully familiar. I like the black "youngtimers" license plate. Never was a fan of the yellow plates.

Excellent! I imagine the interior is just as good as the exterior.
Is that a radar detector or a phone holder on the windshield?
This beauty has 25.7 sec for 0-100.

Hello and welcome Ron.

Great and original looking car, seems to be in good order from the superficial view of the pic. Is the colour original or a respray?

Does the car have/ need any repairs locked down for the foreseeable future and are you a Restomod guy or a pure Resto guy?

👍😎
