C. 1980 Mercedes Benz W123, 240D, 2400cc. Registration number unregistered. Chassis number WDBthe details below. Engine number unknown.
Like its predecessors, W123 gained the reputation of being over-engineered, well-built, durable, and reliable. Many taxi companies chose W123 for this reason, and they were common sight in Germany. Reaching 1, 000, 000 km with minor mechanical issues was common.
Nothing is known of the background to this left hand drive example, found in a garage during a Hull house clearance there is no paperwork with the car. It bears German number plates that were last registered in 1994.
The body is in good condition considering its age and has responded well to a polish, there is no diesel pre start and a petrol ignition has been fitted with a wire to cut the engine which runs well although the bottom radiator house has now failed. The odometer shows only 65, 000km but this cannot be confirmed.
Sold without any paperwork it will make a good project.
