MERCEDES-BENZ W123 230--60707 MLS - A FREE - MOT 17/10/25

STUNNING MERCEDES-BENZ W123 230--60707 MILES-ADVISORY FREE MOT TO 17/ 10/ 25- SERVICE HISTORY.

A BEAUTIFUL TIME WARP EXAMPLE IN SAHARA YELLOW.

THESE CARS WERE POSITIVELY OVER ENGINEERED WHEN MANUFACTURED AND THIS IS TELLING TODAY WHEN YOU COME ACROSS ONE SUCH AS THIS. THE CAR APPEARS IN NEAR NEW CONDITION WITH AN EXTREMELY TIDY INTERIOR, EXTERIOR AND IT'S MECHANICALLY SOUND CONDITION.

FROM AN ERA WHEN MERCEDES-BENZ FOCUS WAS PURELY ON QUALITY, CRAFTSMANSHIP AND SAFETY, THE LEGENDARY MERCEDES-BENZ W123 GENERATION OF SALOONS WAS A HUGE SENSATION FOR IT'S MAKER, ESTABLISHING IT IN ALL MANNER OF NEW MARKETS - THANKS PRIMARILY TO UNMATCHED BUILD QUALITY, SOBER-SUITED STYLE, AND A WIDE RANGE OF ENGINES. THE W123 IS THE CAR THAT SECURED MERCEDES' REPUTATION FOR BUILDING SOME OF THE BEST CARS IN THE WORLD. WHILE IT WASN'T A TRAILBLAZER IN TERMS OF TECHNOLOGY, IT WAS BUILT TO BE DEPENDABLE, LUXURIOUS AND TO PASS THE TEST OF TIME.

THE W123 WAS POSSIBLY THE COMPANY'S HIGH WATER MARK, ALTHOUGH UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE UK YOU PAID THROUGH THE NOSE FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF OWNING ONE. HOWEVER, THAT SAID, INVESTED IN A CAR THAT WOULD GO ON FOREVER. THE 230E REPRESENTS A MUCH BETTER ALL-ROUNDER FROM THE ENGINE RANGE WHICH MATCHES THE BEST OF THE OPPOSITION - WITHOUT LOOSING A SHRED OF MERCEDES-BENZ CORE VALUES. IN ESSENCE, A CAR AS REWARDING TO DRIVE, AS IT IS TO OWN AND NOW A BULLETPROOF CLASSIC CAR INVESTMENT.

THE GLEAMING SAHARA YELLOW PAINT WORK OF THIS EXAMPLE IS EXCELLENT PROVIDING A DEEP SHINE. THERE ARE NO DENTS, SCRATCHES, SCUFFS OR BLEMISHES TO BE FOUND AND NO EVIDENCE OF RUST/ ROT. THE CHROME WORK IS ALSO VERY GOOD AND THE CAR REMAINS WIND AND WATERTIGHT. THE ORIGINAL WHEELS WITH CLASSIC MERCEDES WHEEL HUBCAPS ARE AGAIN IN PERFECT CONDITION, SITTING ON MATCHING TYRES WITH PLENTY TREAD. THE 230 HAS COVERED A MERE 60707 MILES IN IT'S LIFETIME WHICH IS EVIDENCED IN ITS HISTORY FILE AND PART OF A COLLECTION OF CLASSICS KEPT AND MAINTAINED IN A HEATED & FULLY ENCLOSED WATER TIGHT ENVIRONMENT.

AS STATED THIS STUNNING MERCEDES-BENZ IS IN SUPER ALL ROUND ORIGINAL CONDITION. THE CAR DRIVES AND STOPS GREAT, IT PROVIDES A SUPER SMOOTH & COMFORTABLE RIDE, TURNING HEADS WHEREVER IT TRAVELS AND NO WONDER, HAVING RETAINED IT'S ORIGINAL BEAUTIFUL APPEARANCE/ CONDITION.

THE INTERIOR IS ALSO OF EXCEPTIONAL ORDER, ORIGINAL, CLEAN AND UNCLUTTERED. THERE ARE NO TEARS, UNSIGHTLY SCUFFS OR MARKS, SIGNS OF WEAR OR DISCOLORATION. ALL IS IN TACT, FUNCTIONING AS INTENDED, COMFORTABLE AND PLEASANT TO THE EYE.

THE CHASSIS AND UNDERCARRIAGE IS CLEAN AND SOLID IN ALL AREAS, AS ARE THE FLOOR PANS ETC. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF ROT/ RUST ANYWHERE.

THE BOOT - AGAIN VERY CLEAN, SOLID AND UN-CLUTTERED.

ENGINE BAY - AS PER THE BOOT AND AS ORIGINALLY LAID OUT.

ENGINE - THE ENGINE IS RELIABLE, AGILE AND RESPONSIVE, STARTS FIRST TIME OF ASKING EVERY TIME. IT IS SUPER SMOOTH AND QUIET.

TRANSMISSION - THE 4 SPEED AUTO GEAR BOX IS LIKE THE ENGINE, AGILE, RESPONSIVE AND SMOOTH TO THE CHANGE.

BRAKES - SPOT ON ! WITH INSTANT ENGAGEMENT AND NO ISSUES.

MOST RECENT FULL SERVICE AND OIL CHANGE UNDERTAKEN AT 60687 MILES.

ALL IN ALL, THIS IS A FANTASTIC MERCEDES-BENZ W123 203 WHICH IS MUCH ADMIRED AND SUCH A PLEASURE SUCH TO DRIVE, ALWAYS BRINGS AN INSTANT AND ENDURING SMILE OF PRIDE AND SATISFACTION. IT ALSO REPRESENTS A PIECE OF QUALITY AND OVER ENGINEERED MERCEDES MOTORING HISTORY.

THE BENZ WHILE A 45 YEAR OLD REGISTERED HISTORIC CLASSIC VEHICLE AND THEREFORE MOT, ULEZ, CONGESTION AND TAX EXEMPT, NONETHELESS, HAS A CURRENT ADVISORY FREE MOT TO 17/ 10/ 2025.

WHILE THE CAR IS RECORDED AS HAVING 6 REGISTERED KEEPERS, IT HAS IN REALITY MERELY HAD 3 KEEPERS/ OWNERS. THE KEEPER WHO PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM NEW ARRANGED FOR CHANGES OF KEEPERS ON THREE OCCASIONS FOR INSURANCE PURPOSES ALIGNED TO HIS THREE CHILDREN. THIS WAS AS THEY OBTAINED THERE DRIVING LICENCES AND TO FACILITATE THEIR BUILDING OF INSURANCE HISTORIES. IN REALITY, THE 1ST KEEPER ALONE DROVE THE CAR FROM NEW TO 2010. THE FOREGOING IS EVIDENCED BY A SIGNED LETTER OF CERTIFICATION BEARING THE FIRST KEEPERS DETAILS. THE SECOND "REAL" REGISTERED KEEPER OWNED THE CAR FROM 2010 TO 2018 AND THE THIRD "REAL" REGISTERED KEEPER, THE PRESENT REGISTERED KEEPER, SINCE 2018.

THE MERCEDES WAS FIRST REGISTERED IN THE UK ON 5/ 10/ 1979 AND AS STATED HAS IN REALITY HAD MERELY 3 APPARENTLY CARING KEEPERS IN ITS 45+ YEAR HISTORY. THE CAR IS NOW PART OF A PRIVATE COLLECTION AND ONLY USED SPARINGLY IN DRY/ WARM WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE W123 AS IT PRESENTS TODAY, IS A CREDIT TO IT'S KEEPERS AND THE MARQUE. IT IS ALSO A CLEAR INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY ALIGNED TO IN-EXPENSIVE CLASSIC CAR OWNERSHIP, ENJOYMENT WITH NATURAL PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP AND AS STATED A PIECE OF QUALITY OVER ENGINEERED GERMAN MOTORING CRAFTSMANSHIP AND HISTORY.
