Old version, probably "just" a W115. |

I believe I can hear a six cylinder engine at roughly 1 hour, 19 minutes, if the soundtrack is correct. However, the boot badge is of the type XXX X, which doesn't make sense as the only option 230.6 was introduced in August 1973 alongside with the removal of the quarter lights. The extensive smoke is not uncommon because of wear and tear. -- Last edit: 2025-11-03 21:54:54 |

Yes, but that was also present on the early [W 114]. At least they seems to be very similar, I haven't compared them in rear life. |

Really ? The number of slots were the same as the W114, but before november 1971 both W114 and W115 had metalklic grilles, didn't they ? |

only 1972 because iearly in 1973 a new steering wheel with safety material (only in black) was introduced deleting the possibility to order a white steering wheel. |

@electra 225: It seems they were slightly different, but not by much. There were three sets of grilles: 1968-71 [W 115] flat grille with a lot of metal squares Link to "ruylclassics.nl" . -1968-73 [W 114] and 1972-73 [W 115] have a grille with 16 squares to the left and to the right. The vertical lines are slightly recessed Link to "upload.wikimedia.org" . - 1974+ [W 114] and [W 115] have a grille with 17 squares to the left and to the right. The vertical lines are slightly recessed Link to "upload.wikimedia.org" . -- Last edit: 2025-11-09 20:56:23 |
