Last year she was offered up for sale for a fantastic price with another w123 and I couldn't pass up the chance to own the nicest W123 I've ever owned. The car has arrived after a mechanical refreshing and is still the nicest DRIVING W123 I've ever owned, but unfortunately as you can see its had multiple scrapes and sat unprotected in the harsh Florida sun.

A buff and polish won't bring the paint back this time. So once more into the breach.
