I have just bought a E300 diesel estate (W124) M reg

Looking at the tailgate badge it says DEISEL.....
I rubbed my eyes and looked again . ...yep DEISEL.
I'm certain it is the original Merc badge.
Can anyone out there say if this spelling was used by MB ?
Thanks Hugh
 
I stand corrected

Sorry Johnsco.


I have just googled deisel and nothing is available with that spelling.

It would be interesting to find out the origin of the badge in question.

Hugh, send in a picture if you can. :thumb:
 
Hugh,

You could also type in your VIN details on the site Here that may unearth some clues as to the origin of your car.

Regards,

Paul.
 
I understand that Mercedes once had a lady by the name of Liz Dexick fitting the badges to the rear of the cars.....:o

Callingdx, I think you should edit your post to remove your Vin no, especially if you are going to post a picture of the rear of your car with the number plate in full view. ;)
 
Hi Nick - seem you got the photo - I hope you can post it on the forum - as stated I can't access the photo facility.

Ringway - Yes I've only given the VIN and not the numberplate
