Splendid vehicles. My Dad also has a custom-built 1983 300D Turbo Diesel that he ordered and purchased from Germany in a flawless Biscayne Blue exterior with MB Tex navy blue interior. It was shipped all the way from Stuttgart to our home town of Fairbanks, Alaska. It has been very well-maintained up to this very day in July 22, 2024. Thanks for your uploaded video of these two majestic 300D models! ~ Dr. Sanjay Kumar Sr.

They're fantastic. The W123 is the best car made by any manufacuter ever.

Both look absolutely great. COLOURS make such a difference on these cars. Here in SA we find so often Light Ivory - it IS a very "practical" colour and can have a deep Lustre, but is just not exciting - to me!! :-)

Best .

[@turnne]

You need a W126 diesel of this era as well

[@zzoghaibi]

Extremely nice

Interesting video. I lived in West Germany in the late 1970s/early 1980s, and these cars were everywhere, and often used as taxis. I can recall them being extremely well built, but noisy, smelly, and slooooow. Beyond that, I don't recall anybody paying much attention to them, they were basically like German Chevys. Mercedes Benz certainly made much more exciting cars.

Back when they made quality. Not recently

[@amedeorufino6434]

Hi, do you also sell cars outright with no auction ?

[@Altanox]

How come you sell a w123 per day.... crazy

[@verdict1163]

I dunno how he finds them either haha. I'm glad he does though and brings them to a well heeled collector audience. These cars deserve to have a market, and not just all be sub $5k beaters destined for the junkyard.

[@zzoghaibi]

How can I contact you to buy this car

[@verdict1163]

Does the door close sound more solid on the '78 or is it just me? Maybe there was a change to the door hardware design during the facelift?

[@petercollingwood522]

Sounds the same to me. I've never noticed a difference on any of them that I've owned or driven.
