As one of the most popular and highly regarded Mercedes-Benz models of all time, the W123 needs little introduction, seeing as so many have survived and continue to be enjoyed on our roads.

This particular car is no different - its odo may show 318 000km, but it looks pretty much mint! This locally-built car won second place in a Mercedes Club Concours in 2017. It was first purchased in Piet Retief and has been in the same family ever since. 

This 300D's paintwork is still in original and excellent condition. The seats have cloth inserts and are also in excellent condition (see images). The facia has no cracks and the car comes with its original medical aid kit, tools and all keys.

The car has had a new clutch fitted and also has a new battery and fresh set of tyres. The air-conditioner has been serviced and is in working condition.
