Tönz ◊ 2007-02-04 16:04	1966 200 D or 230 [W110] (indicators under the headlights), rather Binz than Miesen. @Ddey65: In the sixties most ambulances of this size were based on Mercedes or VW Typ 2, bigger ones on Opel Blitz. But W110 corresponds less to today's S-Class than rather E-Class, which is still the most popular base for ambulance vehicles in Germany.
