"One of the finest original Mercedes cars I have ever seen. Everything is in working order except the A/C, and the car drives like a dream. It is a true privilege to own a car like this."

Description

This fine Coupé was first registered in July 1985, most likely by a Mercedes-Benz dealer, as it was sold to the current owner already in March 1986. The car has essentially had just one user throughout its life. Carefully maintained overall, it has seen very little use in recent years and was recently recommissioned with a service and a new fuel pump installed by the owner’s brother.

It passed a fresh inspection on September 12, 2025, without any remarks. The car is delivered with two keys fitting all locks, original tools, jack, and a spare wheel with a classic Baroque rim. While the car has not been inspected on a lift by us, a trusted friend of the owner who attended the inspection confirms that everything appears completely normal underneath.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine runs very quietly and smoothly, and the gearbox shifts with the typical refinement you expect from Mercedes. All technical functions are in proper working order, except for the A/C. As a bit of period charm, the car is fitted with a period-correct Mobira telephone as well as a Clarion E914 cassette stereo.

  • Interior condition:

    Incredibly well-preserved interior, with fine leather upholstery, well-kept panels, and a clean headliner. All technical functions are in proper working order, including the electric sunroof.

  • Exterior condition:

    Overall in very fine condition. Parts of the car may possibly have been repainted at some point during its life, but if so, the work was carried out to a very high professional standard. Bumpers, glass, and light units are all in excellent condition. The Baroque wheels are also in fine shape, with good tread depth on the tires (Michelin/Nokia). They are somewhat aged but show no signs of cracking.

  • General condition:

    In summary, this car is a true rarity, and the owner’s wish is that it will find the right hands. Well worth preserving and caring for, just as it always has been.

Facts about the model

Mercedes-Benz W123 (1976–1985)

The W123 is an iconic series of cars produced by Mercedes-Benz between 1976 and 1985. It is renowned for its durability, quality, and timeless design.

The W123 was engineered to combine comfort, safety, and style. Its classic, robust design featured clean lines and the unmistakable Mercedes star on the front grille. The series was offered in several body styles, including sedan, estate (T-model), and coupé.

A wide range of engine options was available, both petrol and diesel, spanning from 2.0 liters to 3.0 liters in petrol versions and up to 3.0 liters for diesels. The W123 quickly earned a reputation for reliability and fuel efficiency, with diesel variants becoming especially popular.

The W123 also introduced several technological innovations for its era, such as:

A reinforced safety cell and strengthened doors for improved crash protection.

Electronic fuel injection (in later models).

ABS brakes (introduced on certain models towards the end of production).

Known for its exceptional ride comfort and stability, the W123 provided a smooth and quiet driving experience, making it equally suitable for city use and long-distance touring.

It quickly became a favorite among both private owners and businesses, symbolizing quality and prestige. Many W123s remain in use today and are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts thanks to their durability, style, and dependability.

The W123 holds a special place in Mercedes-Benz history and in the automotive world at large. Its timeless design, renowned reliability, and outstanding comfort secure its legacy as a classic still appreciated by car lovers around the globe.
