Very interesting color combo!

i had that exact same velour interior in my 1986 300D. I feel my skin itch just looking at it lol.

Pretty sure Feb-1993 was pre-facelift.. this may be a 400E with a facelift.

Neat color combo, pity it doesn't have ASR.

Funny how these colours I used to haaaaaaate in the 90s now seem so compelling! Fantastic colour combo!

i love tha fact that someone is using a real tape with write-protection tabs removed, not a promo tape, no, working tape. Very nice

Any particular reason/s no-ASR is a negative on these cars?

Just coming from the perspective that simpler/less not-needed or desirable options, the better when keeping these era cars long term.

I am being educated on throttle body woes for ASR cars in this forum and was thinking it's nice to have one less thing to worry about without ASR, seeing these cars are generally sorted that IMO they will not bite driving spiritedly even without traction control? Or I may be mistaken.

The open differential is prone to one-wheel peels on wet or dirty pavement, which is really annoying. LSD helps but is not cheap to retrofit. ASR works very, very well and you can add a defeat switch if desired. There's pretty much no downside to ASR. Yes, you can get limp mode, but it's always fixable.

The 4.2L is less likely to break traction than a 5.0L but depending on the rear tire size & compound, that can still happen unexpectedly. If the car is only driven on dry, sunny days and on clean pavement, and the driver has enough skills to catch unexpected oversteer, lack of ASR isn't a big issue. Many / most people don't care and are just fine without ASR. But for me, it's a dealbreaker. I won't buy one without it. We drive our 034 in winter and ASR is absolutely required on ice & snow, even with dedicated 3PMS snow tires.

Duly noted, thanks!
