1973 Mercedes-Benz 220 D review from Costa Rica
"Excellent car, luxury, sharp with classic look and speed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Valve clearance adjustment was out, so it was hard to start for almost a year. After the valve adjust, the car starts like new. Fast on the freeway, and very economical.
Seats all the family with confort, 5.
General comments?
Fast on the freeway.
Handles very well.
Very economical.
Mine has minimal rust.
Suspension is like a tank - it will take a beating or two, and keep going.
Everyone admires it when you drive it.
