1976 Mercedes 206DG Kombi

Our character returned to where it belonged when this "glamour puss"entered our lives which was precisely the same day when the American style motor home we had owned for the past 3 years departed. It was the last model Mercedes tolerated to wear it's prestigious star following it's buy out from the Hanomag company.The following year the company introduced it's own designed light transporter which was far more handsome than ours and for which it was a bit ashamed, especially as it was often mistaken in the U.S. as a VW. We bought it from a mail order company which rotated it's fleet every three years and were fortunate to choose one equipped with a new engine as well as other parts.This became our home from 1978 until 1992 and the adventures we had during that time are the stuff of legend.
