The only thing I would do is change out the headlights back to the Euro style.

To be honest, a manual likely adds nothing to the experience of driving that car. But I still want it.

As much a I love 80s Mercedes sedans (and wagons), I have a hard time figuring out how they'd fit in. At this point, I think they're too old to use as daily drivers but at the same time, they're not exactly fun weekend cars either. I picture taking something like this out on a sunny weekend morning to get coffee or something-- but that'd only make sense if I had room for 4+ cars.
