I have stock W123 model 200, year 1980, it's 42 years old now and I use it daily, it's just unbelievable car, comfort, durable, enjoyable to drive, yes it's one of the best sedan ever made in history.

[@thenotanclan]

These dudes spent so much time designing, over engineering and testing this car they didn’t even get time to have a hair cut - and this video is proof

[@jasoncarpp7742]

I don't know when I first saw the W123 Mercedes-Benz. I remember admiring the appearance of the car. I find it more attractive than anything currently produced by Mercedes.

[@yabonam]

the 70s and 80s mechanical workshops hated this car because rarely needs to repair . i am still feeling in love everytime i see this model. thanks 4 sharing

I enjoy driving my 1981 Mercedes diesel 240d with the 4 speed manual. Best car I have ever owned.

You couldn't get much closer to absolute unequivocal perfection than the W123. No wonder why my dad's 300TD is at 431,000 miles and counting

Noam Lavi yea you can always drop a used motor in when they die. The 5 speed automatic is basically bulletproof in that car. I had a ‘98 C43 amg, and it was very well built. A guy bought it from me and did a C55 conversion on it.

[@tritop]

1978 I started a apprenticeship, the boss of one departement introduced proudly his new W123 one day which only few could afford actually; my father had also one in the same colour so I decided to go home at lunch and I returned with my fathers car, drove inside the company and stopped directely infront of the window of this fellows bureau ! I left the car sat on the fender and waved to him , he looked out, jumped from his chair with wide eyeballs and run outside in order to eat me alive :) :), luckily he grasped what was going on just infront of me. That story gave a good laugh in the company but it was a little dangerous for me since I was only a 18 year old trainee mucks one of the bosses, but the fun of it was worth it

[@tritop]

btw.: I had lots of cars since but my fathers 240 D was inimitable; one of the last quality products of MB. It ended with the first C-Class and the reign of the Management-Dilberts over the Engineers

He drove it till 1996 after which he retired and had to go back to India. It actually clocked 1.5 million km and was still running. I really miss this car.

This was a very good watch. It is no wonder these cars are almost perpetual motion machines. We had 5 different W123 cars in the family when I grew up in the late 80s and 90s. One apricot orange 1976 230, A green 280, a Champagne metallic and a Brown metallic 1982 230E, and a blue 1985 230E. And one time we got to borrow a silver metallic 1977 280CE. The W123 was the ultimate family car. It was a very sad day when the last one was sold off in late 2001. But 19 years later I finally bought my own. A Nickelgrün 1979 230 with a green interior, painted hubcaps and white stripe tires. It is very fun.

[@caracine]

Ownership of one of these perfectly made W123's, especially the Turbo Diesel's, draws you in to share how well it was designed and built. I thought those people were nuts until I bought one- wow. As my DD I have a white, California, 1983 300D Turbo Diesel with 345K on the clock that drives amazingly well and shows no sign of stopping. My responsibility is to keep it in good shape for the next person that owns it as it will likely out-live me (as it did the original owner). I love my W123!

[@klwthe3rd]

Christopher Racine very kewl story!

[@saintpreferred9223]

Diesel, too slow though. I have a 280E, will go 120mph+ on the freeway easily.

[@danb37]

Christopher Racine , well said! The 5 cylinder turbo i bought for a daily driver in 2015 feels amazing as it shifts through the gears. I found a good one with 221,000 miles so i passed on a newer car to replace my 1985 Audi 5000 and went with the best! After a couple years i did get a newer 2nd car but the 300d is running perfect

[@cosminogloocosy1154]

Respect!

[@caracine]

@@saintpreferred9223 My '83 300D Turbo is NOT slow at all. I'm the 2nd owner of this awesome diesel and I have it running the best as ever even with 389K miles. This 617.952 is running better as the miles add up. For my car(s) the key to have these OM617A Turbo Diesels run so well even after 40+ years is to keep the vacuum system working well. How the engine works with the AT via vacuum really changes how these cars drive at any age. Not to mention changing the oil every 3K miles as well. My car has great pickup and has no problem passing others on the freeway or on hills. The only thing I did to it was to increase the fuel pressure going into the IP (which is stock) . I love these cars. I've owned 4 of these W123's (only one now) and am looking for another... . This white '83 was my first and is my DD. Love it!

A couple of years later they changed to BMW 7 series and I remember at 9 years old or so, feeling like it was a down grade. I saw some, not many, but some still in use as taxis in Barcelona in 1999. I just love the subdued elegance of this model. I can't decide if I like the round headlights surrounded by louvres, or the square jobbies. They both look magnificent.

About 20 years ago the sponge foam shift knob on my '83 300TD just had had it. I put it in a box and shipped it to MB America complaining, "This part has prematurely worn out at 246,000 miles. Is this part still under warranty as I think MB should make it last longer than the drive train." Two weeks later I got a wonderful letter from the US head with an apology for the oversight and a shiny new shift knob! He said my letter had been forwarded to HQ's quality assurance team so they could laugh as hard as he did. In 2018, my independent MB shop surprised their oldest customer, me, with a nice steering wheel as the metal hoop was all that was left of mine...😁

Growing up in Moscow, USSR in the 70's and 80's I have always looked at these cars like flying saucers, as only a handful pf foreign diplomats and even fewer Russians (who were a little bit more equal than others in rights and possibilities) could afford strolling down Moscow boulevards and prospects in these magnificent cars. But some 40 years went by and look at me now, I already have parked in my garage a: w124; c208 and a w212. I strongly suspect that after watching this video my thirst for w123 will be reinvorced and I need to make room for one more, perhaps I have to more w212 to the driveway and put a w123 in its space under the roof...

When I was a kid in 1990s in Belgrade, Serbia, it was the time of sanctions against Yugoslavia and Milosevic regime, and for that reason lots of 1960/70/80s cars were on the roads. Although old Opels, Fords and Citroens got my attention and I loved them, I have instinctively known that Mercedes W123 and the /8 series cars which were omnipresent then and still a common sight now are something so special and a class above everything else. As I am writing this comment, currently, 4 vintage Mercedes scale models reside on my desk in my arts studio, next to my PC to look at them for inspiration - Ponton, Fintail, W114 and W123.
