THE 123 CHASSIS 300 TURBODIESEL IS A VERY RARE BEAST INDEED, SO MUCH SO THAT THIS IS CURRENTLY THE ONLY EXAMPLE FOR SALE IN THE UK. RECENTLY IMPORTED FROM CALIFORNIA, MERCEDES-BENZ MADE THIS MODEL EXCLUSIVLY FOR THE NORTH AMERICAN MARKET WHICH ALSO SPAWNED A “TE” ESTATE VARIANT AND 300 CD COUPE.

THE FIVE CYLINDER 300 TD IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS THE “HOLY GRAIL” OF W123'S AMONGST THOSE IN THE KNOW DUE TO ITS TORQUEY 120 BHP ENGINE MATED TO A SUPER SMOOTH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.

AS CATALOGUED BY THE MAGAZINE ARTICLE THE CAR HAS A WONDERFUL HISTORY IN THE US BEING DELIVERED NEW TO SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA AND BEING SUBSEQUENTLY MAINTAINED BY 2 WELL KNOWN MERCEDES MAIN DEALERS/ SPECIALISTS IN CALIFORNIA WITH A TOTAL OF TWENTY SERVICES AND AND SERVICE NUMBER TWENTY ONE UPON ARRIVAL HERE IN THE UK (ALSO STAMPED IN THE SERVICE BOOK).
