1983 PRICE DROP Low miles,superb drive SOLD

A very low-mileage example of a car which is famous for its capability to travel much, much further.

We purchased it from its second owner, who had owned it for 28 years. It had been a cherished part of his family and reserved for family holidays and in his earlier years his mobile DJ business.

Due to his advanced years, the vehicle had been stored for 8 years by the time we went to see it two years ago.

We have since had extensive recommissioning work carried out by Mercedes and W123 specialists, and it is certainly ready to cover another few hundred thousand miles, sailing along with its 2. 4-litre diesel / 5-speed manual powertrain and self-levelling rear suspension.

Sadly, the previous owner passed away a few days after we purchased his cherished car, and we have been unable to locate the service history. However, judging by the way it starts, runs and drives, it has clearly been loved throughout its life.

Work we had carried out included:

Overhauled suspension hydraulics,
Brake pipes, discs, calipers,
Suspension,
Tailgate struts,
Steering,
Radiator,
etc. etc.

The rear of the front arches had rusted, and we had these spots cut out and new metal welded in. It turns out that this was not done well, and will need to be repaired again. There are other bits of tidying up to be done over time (see pic montage), but it is amazingly solid in all of the standard "major" trouble spots, like front of front wings, engine bay, etc.

Interior in excellent condition apart from driver’s seat having the standard hole in the bolster. It could also benefit from new fabric and main seat squab, but will easily serve for another few years. It raises / lowers and slides as it should.

Heating / ventilation all working perfectly.

Temp, oil pressure perfect.

The car comes with:

7 seats all with seatbelts,
Webasto sunroof (slides and seals perfectly),
CD/ Radio,
Original handbook and Europe service guide,
Original pre-delivery inspection document,
Central locking,
Breathable car cover,
Solid plastic loadspace protector,
Original retracting loadspace cover / dog guard,
Headrests for all seats,
MOT valid until October 2019.

We are selling this wonderful car reluctantly, as we must prioritise a new bathroom and our wedding this year and are unable to give it the love which it deserves.

Reasonable offers considered, but we do know the value of this, possibly the best estate car ever made (see link below to Telegraph article), and we do know that this price is fair.

This is now a very cheap car which will serve someone well for many years to come.
