Description:In Brief:
On the Surface: This 1983 Mercedes-Benz 300 TD estate variant is finished in Cream with a Beige leather interior. Owned by the Vendor for the past four years, the vehicle has had just three former keepers according to the V5C. While the car exhibits some signs of rusting, particularly at the front, it is MOT-certified until the 22nd of August, with no advisories noted during the last test. Maintenance & History: This Mercedes-Benz 300 TD comes with a substantial history file. The documentation includes the current V5 document, a purchase invoice from 1993 showing a sale price of £4,818.75, and another from 2020 when the Vendor acquired it for £5,264. The file is also replete with old MOT certificates and invoices for parts and labour, totaling over £3,500. The Model: The Mercedes-Benz W123 series, produced from November 1975 to January 1986, remains one of the brand’s most successful models, with 2.7 million units sold. Known for their robust build quality and reliability, W123s were particularly popular among taxi companies in Germany, often reaching high mileages with minimal mechanical issues. The S123 was an estate version of the W123 introduced as the brand’s first factory-built estate at the 1977 IAA in Frankfurt. This example is an S123 300TD which features the powerful turbocharged 3-litre diesel engine producing 125 BHP. Sale Insight: This 1983 Mercedes-Benz 300 TD estate represents a remarkable opportunity for enthusiasts and collectors alike. With a rich history, substantial documentation, and a robust reputation for reliability, this vehicle stands as a testament to Mercedes-Benz’s engineering. |
