The new W123 range from Mercedes-Benz replaced the outgoing W114/5 models that had helped so effectively to establish the firm across globe as makers of the best engineered cars on earth. Giving the impression that it had been carved from a solid block of steel, the new car looked elegant and understated, especially the ‘T’ estate model which still managed to look tastefully restrained despite lashings of chrome trim. An instant success, a 12-month waiting list soon formed, buyers clamouring to get their hands on virtually any model they could.
A wide choice of engines was available, from the economical 2.0-litre and 2.3-litre four cylinder units, to the impressive if rather juicy 3.0-litre sixes which offered plenty of Autobahn performance. The range continued to sell briskly unit it was replaced by the equally fine W124 range in 1985.
This 1981 Mercedes W123 250, with only one private owner from new, is described by the vendor to be in very good condition in all areas and to drive very well. There is substantial service history with 21 stamps in the book, which verifies the 137,000 mileage. The car benefits from automatic gearbox, electric sunroof and the original radio still fitted to the car. The paintwork is excellent and the car has had some recent recommissioning work carried out, including a service, MoT and a battery. The interior, boot and engine bay are also said to be in good condition, there is however signs of a small repair to the lower section of the driver’s seat. A good starter classic for the Mercedes enthusiast.
