Starting Mercedes-Benz w123 300D After 11 Years + Test Drive

1981 Mercedes-Benz w123 300D 65kW

[@DolleHengst]

I'm old enough to have seen these as a taxi in 1985, when the W123 was still being sold new. Best looking taxi i saw in all my life. And i'll never forget the soothing sound of that diesel at idle.

[@user-ii7wr5hc5m]

This sound of a W123 diesel engine takes us all back to the 90s and childhood.

[@shadowalk]

I like how the engine sound is the same - whether it's one from the 80s/90s that you see everyday or whether it's now from some abandoned and revived W123 in a junk yard.

Yes, but some of uss was in 20's. 😂😂😂

[@user-ii7wr5hc5m]

@@shadowalk There are only a few of these cars left in my city. Even W124 are already disappearing from the roads. It's very sad

[@ytozon1]

Estonia is small county, but I hope that you will never stop finding abandoned cars :D

[@asbjrnkvisle5831]

Some minor rust repairs and a new lock for the boot, and it's like new 😄 A friend had this model as a Taxi, drove it almost 1.8 million km.

[@jaggass]

If this 300D was in Africa it would be still running.

[@lacrimaeblack]

I respect such classics. In the past, engines were made that were supposed to be indestructible and serve people, not the pockets of marketers. Class, elegance, reliability. These are the characteristics of the classics. It doesn't matter if it's a Mercedes or a BMW.

No matter how damaged is a W123 it always gonna start. This W123 shows how reliable they are despite its conditions this car still running. I've got one since 2007 and I bet to say this car it's one of the best MB ever. Unfortunately these cars will never be made anymore so we gotta take care the ones that are left in the world.

Beautiful! I am restorating the w123 with the m115, which is incredible too. That engine comes from back in 1956 and still has almost 10 bar on every cylinder 😅
