Does anybody here own a 280 C W123?

I have a chance to buy Such a car and it turns out they are very rare according to this: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconVal...production.html

Only 1.577 made the same year as the one im looking at (1977) and only 3.704 in Total!

I own a 1978 280 CE with M110 engine- silver on blue MB tex.
Original first aid kit -UNOPENED!! Dash with no cracks, burls superb plus original chrome optioned wheels. The only thing is......
Engine being rebuilt @ this time due to previous owner's non cpmpliance with fluid and maintenance service intervals. I've looked for this model car for a long time and I'm keeping this one!! - It is a rare car and should be one of those sought after models-- hopefully .

Drove it for a year before deciding to rebuilt the engine. the M110 engines are bullet proof and with good care , I shouldn't have to rebuild this patricular one. In any case, go for it. This is a very limited production automoblie. Here in the U.S., Most of the W123 coupes came with diesel engines. Very few came with this DOHC straight 6 config. GOOD LUCK
