"Extra fine W123 in an uncommon color and almost pedantically good condition."

Description

Taxi model that started its career in Skellefteå, but with only 180 000 km on the odometer, its taxi career should have been quite short. It changed owners twice in 2010 and has since been used very sparingly. Trailer hitch, attachment for bike carrier, and engine heater are some details on the equipment list. The color is called English red and is considered to be a rather unusual shade in this context.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Starts easily and feels lively. Performs exceptionally well in all essential aspects and feels as solid as a Mercedes of this class should. The hood can be stiff, an adjustment/lubrication of the lock is in order.

  • Interior condition:

    Here are some details that were unique to the taxi model still intact. Everything in exemplary fine condition. The only detail is a cracked cover to the compartment in the driver's door. Carpets, fabric, and original rubber mats are very nice. The car has an original-like upholstery cover that most likely has been there since it was new. Underneath the perfect MB-tex upholstery in original condition. The trunk is almost in new condition. The only thing that indicates it has been used is some scratches on the plastic panel near the loading threshold.

  • Exterior condition:

    Very nice in terms of paint, moldings, wheels, and bumpers. Even the original splash guards are in very good condition. The gray plastic in the grille is still very nice and fresh. The original paint is glossy and solid. There are a few small touch-ups from stone chips, and a small rust bubble has formed at the bottom of the left front fender. Completely clean and very well maintained underneath. The weatherstripping at the doors has become dry and slightly cracked over the years.

  • General condition:

    Exemplary and now rare variant of the W123. Former taxi cars in this condition and with such low mileage are a rarity.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
  • For items that have not been collected within 14 days storage costs may be charged.
