It’s not unusual to come across a 123 wagon (or estate) in the form of a 300TD Turbodiesel. There were nearly 37,000 of them built and with their stalwart motors and build quality, many are still on the road. You might even occasionally spot the lovely petrol-motored coupés. Finding a wagon with the legendary M130 fuel-injected inline six, now that is unusual. Pair that with a 5-speed manual gearbox and you’ve got something really special.
This one is a European model (no petrol wagons were ever offered by MB NA) with a clean California title, having spent all but 6,800 of its 190,000 miles in the States. That is a fair amount of miles, but it has an impeccable service history and looks to have been meticulously cared for. Paint, brightwork and glass look to be very good and proper for a nearly 38-year-old car. The interior shows some typical 123 cracking in the dash (a fitted dash cover is included in the sale) as well as spidering in the wood trim but all appropriate for the age. The Thistle Green exterior suits it perfectly (as does the svelte Euro bumper) and makes for a nice combination with the beige leather interior.
It is on The MB Market with a current bid of $10,250 with four days to go.
