Trouble round here is--Finding a W123 in a normal yard....
All are gone now, Last I saw was about 3 years ago, and I bagged the rear subframe, axle, trailing-arms, headlamps, front bumper and other useful goodies....
--I regret not taking the sunroof assembly--just as I watched the car being lifted by chains and it distorting outta shape, so I could remove the subframe....
There is a specialist very close to me in same city--With dozens of W123 in his yard. This guy is a sorta legend in MB circles in UK, a sorta self professed 'guru' on the W123. Even wrote a book on 'em.
--Sorta feller who cannot abide the thought of using anything other than genuine MB parts--and you speak utter heresy if you say you gonna change the engine for a different type!
His prices for parts however, make me cringe, earning him a nick-name in my house as 'Costa(female-dog).....
