yes the W123 has aged gracefully. it will be interesting to see how this whole thing pans out.
i love the blue exterior, but I'm not overly crazy about the matching blue interior complete with european canvas striped seats. I think that a black dash and console with light tan interior would have been stunning. who knows what I'll do if I decide to keep it. in the meantime, I'll just keep picking at the stuff that's not working and enjoy it. it's been awhile since I've had anything 20+ years old in the garage.
