The W123 series is a range of executive cars made between 1976 and 1985. I don't like to pick favorites, ut I have to say, his car is one of them. I heavily considered keeping it for myself. I'm such a sucker for the Euro stuff. I drove this car back from Wisconsin last summer and it purred like a German sewing machine the whole way. I also just took it on a 700 mile round trip to Big Sur, gain, erfect.

This particular coupe model has great European options, ike sleek bumpers, loth interior, &R lowering springs, nd period correct BBS wheels. It has a cool stance, ery slightly lowered, ith a great ride. If you're looking for a unique low-mileage W123, ou just found it.

All factory glass is original except the front windshield and seal, hich was replaced due to some light pitting over the years.

It has been exceptionally well maintained since new, nd has never missed a single scheduled service. My favorite perk is the 4-cylinder gas engine. You not only get more horse-power than a turbo diesel, ut you don’t get hit with the hefty fuel consumption bill like the big brother 6-cylinder 280. It's durable and fuel efficient 2.3 liter, -cylinder gasoline motor is smooth and strong, nd it gets an average of 24 MPG. Cold starts are instant, hich is a validation to its low miles.
