Spotted Classic. Mercedes Benz 240D
August 2nd, 2007

I have very fond memories of this car. This is the one my uncle taught me how to drive in before I was legally allowed to. The thing is a tank and sounded like one with a 4 cylinder diesel engine. In case any of you are stuck in Diesel limbo, current iterations of cars with this type of fuel are in CDI (Common Rail Diesel Injection) such as certain VWs. There’s also a bunch of automakers that are coming out with Blue(fill in the blank) which are next generation diesels that run quieter, smoother, and faster. I would say MB dominated the diesel market back in the late 70’s to the mid 80’s in the US. Anyways, onto the gallery.
