1977 230 sedan for sale
 

Hey guys,

Have a cheapo for sale through the shop. It's a '77 230 sedan, W123 chassis. Belonged to a customer. Had a tranny put in by the local dealer some years back. Body fair, interior overall good. The exterior is a grey/beige with navy MB-Tex inside. M115 four banger does run but here is what I found the car needs (which is why she wants to sell and find something newer)...

-Has exhaust leak
-Needs choke housing for carburettor (Stromberg 175 CD)
-Needs brake flex hoses
-Needs thermostat

Here's what we did to it at my shop just recently....

-Oil and filter change
-Brake fluid change
-Valve adjustment
-New spark plugs
-New breather elbow

I checked out the carb because the car was running poorly (no noises from engine, this is carb-related). Found choke housing to be faulty. If you don't want to put a new thermostatic choke on the car, you can put a manual choke on it (a kit is available in a Triumph/MG catalog I have) for $70.

The body is fair, the worst spot being the front of the driver's side rocker panel. Floors and other sheetmetal is not bad. It's a good fixer-upper or winter beater. The price is $500. E-mail me at benzpower@aol.com for pics.
