Lovely cars. I currently own a 1970 Triumph 1300 with 51,700 miles on the clock and it's already quite ropey! I would love a W123 Mercedes.

Marvelous, my 200D still only has 323k so I guess I have at least another 300k to go hahaha How much does it cost to paint it over there? It is super expensive to paint the whole car in Spain

@oldmercguy 2 ай бұрын

A decent job can be had for around R35k (around $1900).

I’d go for the 300TD personally and find one with factory air con.

Sadly they 300DT wasn’t manufactured or sold here in South Africa.

One question please: How different are the w123 and w114/115 bodies in terms of structure and crash safety? As their bodies look very similar, I had the impression that the chassis is practically the same, but now I have some doubts. What do you think?

@oldmercguy 2 ай бұрын

No they are completely different in design and structure. The w114/5 still utilise sub-frames for both the engine and the front and rear suspension for example. The w123 was a big step forward in crash safety.
