This 1975 Mercedes-Benz 240D is powered by a replacement 2.4L inline-four OM616 diesel engine and was purchased in an estate sale. It was previously owned by one family since new, and passed through three generations of family ownership. Service records document the vehicle’s history and include delivery papers from its initial purchase in Germany. With 310,000 miles on the clock, this well maintained W115 qualifies for the distinguished 500KM badge within the next 2,000 miles.
Mechanically, this is one of the strongest W115s on the market, but it needs cosmetic sorting to be a proper 240D.
