    I live in the states so I get the better 123s and 124s 😂. I got my hands on a 123 Sedan with the 300d and a 124 sedan with the inline-6 turbo diesel. The speed difference is out of this world. And I agree the 124 is underrated.

    Loving the enthusiasm . When I was getting into motors (80s) these were just "cars" ....not classic cars. So happy to see there is still such a following for old VDubs that were designed for a 10 year n100k life. Couldn't tell you how many Beetles I scrapped in the 1980s. Dailying a W123 currently as ...the only sensors in the car are my four paws and the checks of my arse , the "brain" is in my head and ........I can still fix them without a computer or a parts cannon . Love your work guys.

    I brought in the first S cargo into Harwich back in 1987.. Bringing it from the importer depot to London was a nightmare.. It had an annoying tinky bell speed warning which was pre set for 60mph.... It was repainted and leased out to a bakery in East London...

Sure, I didnt drive with it like that, I quickly changed oil and other stuff, but the sick part was that it WORKED. I really want to keep my 16v forever, its a very fun car.

    Felicitaciones por volver ese W123 a la vida, para mi es el mejor y mas lindo de los Mercedes!!! Otra cosa es que me parecio un poco largo el video con pasajes que deberìan ser mas cortos y algunos sin importancia; pero lo importante es que està funcionando. Veremos como reparan la carrocerìa y los herrumbres. He notado que todos los Mercedes son bastante malos en lo que se refiere al metal de la carroceria pero de motor una maquina infernal. Felicitaciones nuevamente y espero a ver cuando lo pintan....
