Just found this old thread. This is a factory option, it uses petrol to heat the cabin of the car by heating the coolant. Was never offered in Australia for obvious reasons.

That is a mountain of torque.

A few cheapies coming up at LLoyds:

Here is some information about the car: https://www.classicjalopy.com/1981-mercedes-240d/ And what it is like to drive: https://www.classicjalopy.com/2024/04/what-is-a-1981-240d-automatic-like-to-drive/

As I posted in the Projects Thread, I recently purchased a 1981 240D. I wasn't really looking one, but this super original car fell into my lap and I couldn't say no to it. I've been enjoying driving it so far as its a good contrast from my other cars.

what a ripper colour ikon gold is when in good condition.

This is one of the nicest W114s I've seen in many years: https://www.carbids.com.au/c/allbids-car-auctions/classic-unique-sports/12-1970-mercedes-benz-230-w114-4d-sedan-cream-23-1528787 Looks like original plates and still has the AWA radio that would have been dealer fitted.

I managed to get a good used pulley and have it installed, so the car is back on the road. I also learned something about the car I never knew. It has a coolant/oil heat exchanger. https://www.classicjalopy.com/2024/03/m129-heat-exchanger/

Good on them. Not at all surprised.

No, but it was up on carsales for a while before it went to auction. On the surface, it looks pretty good.
