It's a relatively small tube that brings in a very small amount of outside air from the fender area.

All modern cars have flaps that allow positive pressure from inside the cabin to escape, even my Mk1 Golf had seals in the door panel; W123s may have this too, but if they do I am unaware of where they are. Without them, I could see a possibility of a problem.
aren't the vents on a W123 under the aluminum trim piece behind and over the passenger doors?
Here are pics of the vents exposed courtesy of charmulu.
