Hi there,
I am new here and certainly not as learned in the history of MB and its models as most of the enthusiasts on here.
I am simply after some information. I understand it may not be a straightforward answer, but in Mercedes Benz's current model line up, what would be the equivalent (or similar) of a 1976 240 D?
I grew up very close to my grandparents. And the 1976 240 D was my grandad's car, but was sold by my family after he passed. (I only know the model year as grandad kept saying that the 240 D was my older sister by 10 years )
I would not have the knowledge or budget to maintain a classic car. But, I have been saving up and in the position to acquire a new car. I am looking to buy a current MB model that may be the modern day equivalent of his 240 D. My own little homage to grandad.
Below is a photo grandad took of a silly looking young me with nan and his 240 D and finger partly blocking the photo.
