Mid Life Crisis Car


This is my birthday present to myself! I have wanted one of these wagons for 30 years and here she is. Meet
Miss Oddette....
This is the definition  of a don't need just want item. She lived in Coupeville, Washington and I got her from an estate sale. I Love her...she is perfect just the way she is!



                                          1981 300TD Turbo Diesel Station Wagon
  • Classic White with Palomino MB-Tex
  • 144,000 documented miles since new
  • sunroof, rear-facing 3rd seat,luggage rack cross bars, luggage/parcel divider
  • one owner, 100% original paint
  • new home, Santa Margarita, California
I still can't get over this wagon. I've never seen a cleaner interior. Ever. It looks like it has 44,000 miles not 144,000. 30 years ago the one and only owner of this W123 wrapped the carpet in plastic, and if that wasn't enough, she then put two sets of protective floor mats on top. Pictured in the photo below is a factory driver side floor mat that has never seen a shoe. Believe it.























The original owner documented every mile, service check, 
maintenance and gasoline stop ever in this car. It is truly amazing.
Happy Birthday to me...
