The a pillar looked like a 123 body. That's all I saw that looked identifiable.

W123 4 door sedan - model and year is anyone's guess.

W123 dash round DS air vent, round clock in center, knobby texture to steering wheel @ 38 seconds, W123 side molding @ 53 seconds, W123 headlights, grill and front left turn light @ 53 seconds, W123 DS headrest and rear bench seat back @ 54 seconds and definitely a 4 door sedan @ 57 seconds (you can see the fixed glass on the rear door).

Can we narrow down the year based on the headrests? Early w123s had similar headrests as w115s, but then they became less angular (or more square) at some point (I think).

1980 was the year for the seat and the headrest style change.
