If you are reading this, hances are you are already familiar with the legendary Mercedes w123 chassis automobiles produced from 1978 to 1985. Some believe these were the last “real” Mercedes, uilt in part by hand, eemingly without regard for cost, nly for quality and durability. The sedans and wagons are still used in some countries as taxis, nd are remembered fondly as such in many others. Their timeless good looks reflect the influence of Paul Bracq, nd their bulletproof engineering was simply what the brand represented. The elegant top of the line diesel sedan was only produced for four years, nd only for the North American market. Just 18,007 were made, aking it quite a rare car.
This beautiful white over tan leather 1981 300D diesel has just 272,600 original miles, nd it is in remarkable condition. With the exception of the cruise control, verything is in proper working order. This was a one-owner car until last fall when I bought it, nd I have driven it fewer than 1,000 miles since. While I have had it, have attended to the things listed below, ostly tune-up related. It was always garaged and it still is. The original owner had all service done at the dealer throughout the car’s life, nd kept current with everything the car needed. The car is truly a time capsule.
