Looks like benz disguised the pre-production testers as volvos!

Thanks for posting this up!

Now, where can I get information on prototype W123's, production tests, etc? I have some brochures (200/220/240/300D, S123, and 1983 brochures) but none of them have these kinds of info.

It's gone. They redesigned the site, and didn't keep the video.

What a bummer.

I just sent them a question on how to obtain that footage...At least I got to show it to a co-worker that kept laughing at me for driving "such an old car". Needless to say, the guy was impressed.
