Anyone ever driven a manual Mercedes?

I watched a Wheeler Dealers with an manual E class, right seat driver, and realized I've never even seen a manual Merc. They made some C class ones recently, maybe up to 2012, and offered it in the SLK around that same timeline.
Anyone ever driven one? Neat rig?

My '77 is a manual.

I don't have any of her specifically, but this is pretty close. My girl isn't as in good of shape as this one, though.

71 280SL, but that was 15 years ago.

Damn. I'd rock that for sure.

Mine's a fricking tank. It's close to 640k miles at the moment.

I drove a piss yellow 81 300D when I turned 16. 0-60 in 25 seconds. So badass.

A lot of Benz manuals in Europe.

Only in Europe.

I've never driven and manual Merc but I have driven a manual Buick.

A lot of wagons with manuals as well. I would have killed for a manual 5 series wagon, but that just doesn't exist over here.
I love how the 'hips' of those old German cars were so low, and the windows were so tall. Here's my old 5 series, gigantic top of the cabin. Visibility was outstanding.

I miss my E28 with the M30 (big six)...so many memories.

I use to work as a valet, I've driven a few of them. One lady use to come in this older C class all the time which was a manual.

I just turned in a 2011 E63 AMG Merc with the naturally aspirated 6.3L V8. Only thing missing was a manual gear box, sadly not an offering. A couple of cars ago I had a 2003 M5 with the 6 speed manual. It was the E39 body style, a true classically designed automobile - what a great car. It was really stupid of me to sell that car. Cars like these deserve manual trannies.

You have that ostrich interior in the E39?

My daughter drives a SLK 230 Kompressor Roadster. It's a (canary) sunburst yellow hardtop convertible. I think it's about 1998-1999 vintage. The first time I drove it, I couldn't find reverse to save my soul.
This time of year it's usually parked in the garage and she drives the 4 wheel drive Jeep. No pics of my daughter.
