Introduced in 1975, Mercedes-Benz's W123 series cars perpetuated the marque's enviable reputation for engineering integrity. Well-built with a sense of solidity missing from today's model range, the W123 cars featured all round independent coil sprung suspension, disc brakes and power steering. Devoid of exterior plastic trim and regarded by some as the last of the 'chrome era' Mercedes, W123s have begun to attract a cult following. Powered by a 1997cc four-cylinder engine producing some 108bhp and 125lbft of torque and equipped with either manual or four-speed automatic transmission, the 200 models were reputedly capable of 104mph and 0-60mph in 14.4 seconds.
Built to order number 0553757357 for the UK market, chassis WDB1232802F056422 left the factory finished in Light Ivory with Palomino cloth upholstery. Fitted with a mechanical sliding roof, springs for increased payload and daytime running lights when new the Mercedes-Benz was first UK registered on the 4th May 1985. A late example of the W123 series of cars produced, 'C2 CAJ' displays some 90,500 credible miles on the odometer. Powered by the 1997cc four-cylinder petrol engine mated to a manual gearbox the Mercedes-Benz is being offered with a collection of invoices and the current V5C Registration Document.
