Got a meter (and know how to use it)?
The purple wire there is the starter solenoid circuit. Not having seen the 123 up that close and personal lately, I am going to presume that the purple wire comes from the neutral safety switch to that block and then directly down to the starter.
Using a meter, first have somebody turn the key and try to start while you check that purple wire for voltage relative to ground. If you see the voltage go up to 12v while the key is turned and then back to 0 when you let go, then it's your starter.
If you don't see any change, then it's either the neutral safety switch hooked up to the shifter or it's the ignition switch itself.

PS. A 280ce with a standard transmission is one car I'd love to own. I wish Santa could park one under my tree.
