Since February 1982, an optional fivespeed manual transmission was available in all models. Optional extras included MBTex, velour or leather upholstery, interior wood trim, passenger side exterior mirror, fivespeed manual or fourspeed automatic gearbox, electric windows, central locking, sunroof, air conditioning, climate control, Alpine horn, headlamp wipers, cruise control, power steering and heated seats.First registered on 1st January 1986, the example on offer here is an everpopular MercedesBenz 280 TE Estate.
