After being listed for sale for two years I bought the Euro 1982 300D that Rick was selling. Its nice being back in a W123 sedan after a loooong absence and I cant wait to bring Granny back to her former glory.

The Good
Green Tex on Cloth interior is in 9/10 shape with some light fading
Manual everything except sunroof
Dealer installed AC (no R4!!!!)
Alloy hubcap wheels
Trunk Triangle and First Aid Kit
Provisions for vacuum headlight adjustment
Euro Bumpers
Engine runs nice and smooth and is very peppy for a non turbo
brakes work nicely
Original Becker radio works (speakers need replacing)
Front Right fender antenna (super cool!)

Work to be done

Transmission grinds into reverse (work around shift to 3rd then reverse)
2nd gear synchro isnt happy
Rust on the front jack points, hopefully I can repair it
Rust on non structural parts of the body. Wheel arches, front nose, etc
Front and rear windshield seals need to be replaced
Paint has failed clear coat
Suspension feels good but will probably need a rebuild



Regardless of the work to be done which was listed in the for sale ad by Rick Im very pleased with this W123 and look forward to documenting its restoration.
