I need to replace the front seats in my dog rough W123 280E. I would like to put a modern merc seat in there place due to cost and availabilty. Can I bolt in two new front seats from a 124 or any other post 90`s merc?

thanks Paul

Maybe but I would stick to the W123 seats, They are comfortable and will bolt right up.

123 seats are like rocking horse s---. Modern seats are ten a penny and I am on a bujet. Any advice please?

Sigh, trying to go cheap on a Benz will only lead to problems. Keep shopping for the 123 seats.

I guess the "ten a penny" phrase is an indication of the British pound's strength against the USD. Here in the Colonies it's, "a dime a dozen"

W123's are cheap though :-) The English weather is kind to Mercedes Benz interiors. You should have no problems in sourcing a good pair of tex seats at the MB breakers. I can give you my list, but it's about 10 years old.
