1966+ [W110] |

In the USA, so probable a 200, as Diesel-cars were never popular there. |

Perhaps, but they do exist http://germancarsforsaleblog.com/trio-of-vintage-mercedes-200-w110-fintails/ and don't forget the 230 [W110]. I'd say this is rather a late one, as it has overriders (or was that compulsory in the US?). Edit: Forgot to include a link for the 230 Link to "www.peachparts.com" . -- Last edit: 2012-05-01 14:56:33 |

Hadn't the late 230 the round headlights, but a longer front of the W111 (to see by the longer distance between the front doors and the front wheel)? |

The 230S was longer than the 200 and the 230, and that's because: - the 230S belonged to, and looked like, the [W111] family and consequently had the same lenght (4875 mm) as the 220b, 220Sb and 220SEb. - the 230 (without S) belonged to, and looked like, the [W110] family and consequently had the same length (4730 mm) as the 190c, 190Dc, 200 and 200D. The problem with Mercedes is that we from outside can't possible see what engine is fitted. The only way to judge is to have a look at the production numbers concerning that body type, where one can see that: - the 200 [W110 B II] was built in 69.789 units (26,0%). - the 200D [W110 D II] was built in 159.365 units (59,3%). - the 230 [W110 B III] was built in 39.619 units (14,7%). But then again, if having a look at a random 07.65+ [W110] one can not possible say what model it is. Here's a link http://wiki.mercedes-benz-classic.com/index.php/Kategorie:W110/W111/W112 . Why not just call it a 1966-68 [W110]? -- Last edit: 2012-05-02 10:45:01 |
