Sandie ◊ 2015-12-09 03:00	The reference link given by that Wiki page: http://www.mbspares.com.au/Gallery/An-Australian-Mercedes-Benz.aspx ... but no mention of the 180 D.
dsl ◊ 2015-12-09 03:26	Best reference I can find is Mercedes-Benz in Australia During the Ponton Era (1953-1962) which says "Average annual vehicle sales during the years 1952-55 were around 200 passenger cars comprising 170, 180 and later 220 models" and later "The first 220S Ponton came off the line in March 1959 ... over the following five years some 7500 Type 220 S/Sb/SEb and Type 190 cars were assembled". No specific 180 D mention, but presumably covered by the 1952-55 imports.
