I know that the skid plate was an option but U.S. buyers don't feel the need. Both sets of my grandparents bought 1961 Mercedes. The college prof took European delivery and had the skid plate. The farmer took delivery in Eugene , Oregon and did not have the skid plate. Bill in Oregon

I need to find a source for ' Monark ' brand injector nozzles ~ as far as I can tell , the only ones still made in Germany and I have as of yet to find anyone who didn't like them .

Good luck.
