Those interested a W123 don't need information on the durability, ruggedness, prestige and engineering of these cars.
Here we have a very fine example of the 230E variant, with manual transmission, based in Johannesburg, South Africa.

* Interior is Cream MB-tex, unmarked.

Owner's manual also with the car
One family owned, father then daughter, before me.
Great colour combination, Thistle green metallic over cream MB tex interior.
Combination of low ownership, very low mileage and sound maintenance record with plenty recent age-related attention, plus a very good specification, make this vehicle a stand out example.
A number of fine W123's from South Africa have been imported by dealers into the UK as I'm sure interested W123 enthusiasts will know. The dealers then mark them up very considerably. Buy direct from an enthusiast instead.
