Unfortunatley the guy was in a hurry, and I couldn't flag him down. I'd loved to have talked with the driver and seen the odometer.
So - who else has seen older MB diesels in service as Taxi's in the US...?

There are two other 123 diesel taxis that I know of in DC- a 2-tone tan and black sedan and a silver wagon. The silver wagon looks pretty tired. Also- there is a black 124 E300TE in service, and a black 126 500SEL. Starting to see lots and lots of 123s here.
