1967 Mercedes-Benz 200 D

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Pioneering the use of diesel engine technology for passengers in the 1930s, Mercedes-Benz refined this technology over the coming decades to craft some of the world’s finest economical cars. While many contemporary economy cars came in a smaller package with only basic features, a diesel-powered Mercedes stood apart, offering comparable economical running with the increased comfort and refinement present throughout the model range. An added bonus of diesel technology is a reduced maintenance schedule, as it does not feature either a carburetor or spark-based ignition system. Today these cars have a devout following for their useability and dependability after proving themselves capable of covering thousands of miles to countless owners throughout their decades of service.
