The exterior is finished in Silver Blue Metallic (930U) and features quad headlights and a power sunroof as well as chrome bumpers and bright trim.
Silver-finished 14″ Bundt wheels wear 190/70 Michelin tires at three corners along with a Cooper tire at the left front. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes.
The cabin features blue MB-Tex upholstery with matching carpeting and Zebrano wood trim on the dashboard and center stack. Amenities include automatic climate control, a factory Becker Europa cassette stereo, and power windows. The air conditioning was recharged in preparation for the sale.
A four-spoke steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation that includes an 85-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and auxiliary gauges. The six-digit odometer shows 80k miles.
The naturally-aspirated 3.0-liter diesel inline-five was factory rated at 87 horsepower and 127 lb-ft of torque. An oil change was performed in June 2021.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission.
