HISTORY/GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The Mercedes-Benz W123, produced between 1975 and 1986, is widely recognized as one of the most durable, reliable, and well-built cars in automotive history. The 230E version introduced the 2.3-liter M102 four-cylinder engine with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, offering a perfect balance between smoothness, power, and efficiency. This particular example, registered in 1983 in Spain (Madrid provincial plate M-2114-FF), highlights that it has always belonged to the same family and had a single registered owner[cite: 1, 8]. It records 188,000 kilometers and retains its original specifications. BODY/P paint: It presents an exterior paint finish in a vintage yellow/ochre tone in very good overall condition. The body and undercarriage show no signs of rust. It retains the chromed trim, side protectors, and original steel wheels with hubcaps painted to match the body color in good condition. May require repainting a few minor paint defects to look flawless. The molding, protective rubber seals, and door sills are well preserved. INTERIOR: Features original black cloth/vinyl upholstery in excellent condition with no visible tears. The dashboard shows no visible cracks, preserving the original four-spoke steering wheel and functional instrument cluster. Comes with a sunroof. Door panels, carpets, and headliner are well preserved. Equipped with manual windows and a radio installed in the center console.
