w123 230 purchase advice needed

Hi All,

Looking at an '81 230 with 100k on the clock and some history. It's for sale at £950 sterling, which is on budget.

It sounds presentable, but I'm new to these cars and wondered if there's any costly nightmares I should be particularly wary of.

I'm not a bad mechanic and can spot the obvious stuff you could apply to any 20 year old car, just wondered if there's any specifics that could help me out.

Thanks in advance..

Nick
