It has the redesigned doors (September 1989 until 1993) with a bit of plastic covering the lower part. That was called 'Sacco shields' after Mercedes head of design Bruno Sacco (1933-2024). Models possible: 200 D, 250 D and 300 D.

tore-40 ◊ 2026-02-01 14:00	Seriously, @Error101lol? If a real german taxi, judging by the color (Leipzig location? 10-15 years old, fully conceivable, some have run well over a million kilometres) then probably a 200D by all means
