HISTORY OF THE MERCEDES W123 The Mercedes 123 succeeded the 114/ 115 models in 1976. The 123s were designed with profitability and reliability in mind at the height of the oil crisis. They came in a range of body styles: saloons, estate cars (the first to be designed entirely at Mercedes), coupés and limousines, as well as a wide range of engines, from 4-cylinder 2. 0-litre to 6-cylinder 3. 0-litre, both petrol and diesel, equipped with carburettors or fuel injection systems. These engines gave the 123 a legendary reputation for longevity and reliability, with some models now clocking up several million kilometres. With over 2. 7 million units sold up to 1986, the 123 is now considered a Mercedes bestseller. It was gradually replaced by the Type 124 at the end of the 1980s. THE VEHICLE This model, with its dark blue exterior (904) and attractive cream cloth interior (055), is in very good overall condition. Several documents relating to the vehicle's history are included in the file. The vehicle has been very well maintained throughout its life by its various owners. The car is of French origin, delivered new to the Mercedes dealership in Auxerre. It has remained in the same family for 40 years, still in the department of Yonne. The car has covered less than 250, 000 kilometres, as attested by the maintenance booklet present in the vehicle.
