I was browsing the "pumping up 603" thread and was reminded of the S300 Turbodiesel and I remember that I have a 1996 W140 Sales Brochure that my dad picked up for me as he knew I was obsessed with MBs.. (now that im into it.. he lost it for MBs )

Anyway,

Here are some pictures and info on the W140 S300 Turbodiesel that we never got in the US (unless it is a grey market?)

The brochure is a really nice hard cover one..

Looks nice. I never knew there was such a thing as a S300 until you posted this info. Very nice, great information.

Hey, that's a really nice picture of a 606! Thanks for posting it, Holson. No, the S300 never made it over here.

That (606.962) was my first thought too.

My second thought was....hey there's a picture of 25% of the stuff hidden by the manifold!

My third thought was "Stupid Manifold"!!!
