You sir (dieselPaul) are correct it is a 1986, I assumed the german/European market got w123 models for an "extra" year. Either way it is in fact titled as a 1986 and it is definitely a w123.

I did repair the damaged hood hinge pockets not sure if that was the "sever rot" referred to above.


It seems to me that many of the things I found desirable about this car, the very rarely seen european market options, are the things being picked apart. I LIKE those, short bumpers, hand crank windows, classy fabric seats, ectera... so tomato tomato.

I do appreciate the honest opinions and Ill just see what the interest is out there in the world.
