Nice looking car. The engine is probably the 4 cylinder from a 240D. No doubt a manual transmission

I wonder why he took it off the road. Even with cheap fuel 100 MPG is cheaper to drive than 25 MPG. He probably could not insure it.

Unfortunately with its indirect combustion engine it isn't within shouting distance of complying with Tier II, and 1500 lb without carbon fiber, no way it meets US crash safety minimums.
