I can't guess where it may be. Here is another photo from a long road trip. I read about this one on a Mercedes forum several years ago. A couple guys rebuilt the car in Europe and drove on a long trip to Africa and back. It is a 300TD Diesel wagon about 1985.

^^^Those are tanks!
Organized long distance rally I think. Expensive gear. Can't read logo on the doors, but multiple stages, or years? European model 245. Sponsors in English. One driver is L Hansen, German. Can't find Team-Straight-Six anywhere.
