This car was originally sold by RBM of Atlanta to Thomas D'Alessio. He sold it to the father of the man who I bought it from. The previous owner's father was a Mercedes mechanic and the car was passed to his son when he died. It was meticulously maintained with every service and oil change recorded through his ownership and from the first service at RBM. Every page of the service book is completed. When the son had the car he embarked on a comprehensive maintenance and restoration project starting in 2005 and mostly complete by 2009. He did this as a tribute to his father whom he knew had cherished and maintained the car. His car licence plate read: FORMYDAD
There are pages and pages of receipts for the part that he purchased for the car during his ownership. I have not gone through the entire list of receipts but the total dollars spent must be huge. Some items have been replaced several times during his ownership.
The car was stripped to bare metal, doors and fenders removed and painted in the factory cream color. The paint is of a very high quality. There are no door dings or scratches in the paint. All new cad plated hardware was used for re-fastening the body parts. New cad plated door, hood, trunk latches were installed. Every rubber part on the car was replaced. Window, door seals , trunk seals, everything is new. New anodized trim was replaced on the body. The only items not re-done are the front and rear bumpers. There are some scratches on the front bumper. All glass is very nice. Grill parts have been replaced and look like new.
He re-built the engine and transmission in August of 2005, The engine had over 210,000 miles at that time. Currently it has 226,900 miles. The exhaust system was also replaced at this time. In January of 2005 he completed a rebuild of the complete rear end. The list of items is extensive, but includes, cv axles, re-balance drive shaft, new sub frame mounts, rear shocks, torsion bar and bushings, differential mount, park brake cables, rear coil springs and mounts, and more. Tires have good tread but have not been replaced recently.
From 2005 to 2013 many more items were replaced along with meticulous maintenance for standard items. A new PAC automatic climate control system was installed. All A/C componnets have been replaced. The steering box and bushings are replaced. Brake calipers were replaced.
The list of small mechanical items is endless. The vacuum system has been completely re-done and all vacuum is very strong.
The interior has had a great amount of attention. Many switches and other parts are new, like turn signal stalk, cruise control stalk. Re-finished wood. New carpet. The dash is original and there are several cracks in the dash. The seat leather is original and there are some cracks in the driver, passenger and at the top center of the rear seat. Overall the upholstery is still very nice and would only need to be replaced if you wanted the car to be perfect. Headliner has no damage just some staining.
Everything in the car works as it should.
The trunk is spotless with new carpet and rubber mat. The jack and tool kit are with the car as is the un-used spare.
Underside of the car is very clean with no signs of ever having any rust. Many of the new drivetrain and suspension components are visible in the photos.
This is as well presented as any of these cars that I have seen. I can't imagine another 300d that could have had as many components replaced as on this car. Along with the continued high level of maintenance that this car has received, I would imagine that it will provide very many miles of good service for the next owner.
The car has it's 250,000 kilometer award from Merceds Benz Cassic .

Mercedes takes VW Westfalia Camper idea upscale with new Marco Polo
Wed, 09 Jul 2014Earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz revealed the new V-Class. Slotting in below the popular Sprinter, the new V-Class replaced both the Viano and Vito upon its debut at the Geneva Motor Show. But Mercedes isn't quite done with it just yet. At the upcoming Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, Germany, Mercedes will reveal the Marco Polo - a versatile, stylish and decidedly contemporary take on the classic camper van.
Named after the famous Italian explorer, the Marco Polo was converted by Westfalia, an outfit which you might more closely associate with classic VW camper vans but which Daimler absorbed over a decade ago. Offering, according to the press release below, "a maximum of opportunities to be independent, free and spontaneous," the Marco Polo sleeps four thanks to the rear bench that electrically folds flat into a bed and the second berth under the pop-top. The flexible interior is decked out like you'd expect a modern Mercedes to be, with ambient LED lighting as well as wood, metal and piano black trim.
It's got an onboard kitchenette with two gas burners, a sink and fridge with a 10 gallons of fresh water and an even bigger waste tank. All that gear is shlepped around by a choice of four-cylinder turbodiesel engines ranging in output from 136 to 190 horsepower. The relatively compact form boasts a turning circle similar to a full-size sedan and a height designed to fit into most garages and car washes. All of which just might make us reconsider the appeal of traveling by camper van.
