The seller offers for sale this 1982 Mercedes-Benz 300 D, powered by a 3.0-litre five-cylinder diesel engine, paired with a manual transmission. Finished in a muted green over a light interior, this W123 saloon presents as an honest, usable example of one of the most respected Mercedes-Benz models of its era. The body carries its period lines well, with the upright grille, four round headlights and substantial chrome bumpers that define the W123 look. Inside, the light-coloured upholstery, large steering wheel and clearly laid-out instrument binnacle give the cabin the unmistakable character of an early 1980s Mercedes-Benz.
The 300 D is powered by the OM617 inline-five diesel, an engine that earned a worldwide reputation for its longevity and unburstable nature. Combined here with a manual gearbox, it offers the relaxed, durable driving experience that made the W123 a favourite for high-mileage owners and a sought-after classic today. The car is in good condition and drives, brakes and shifts.
The W123 series was produced between 1976 and 1985 and became one of the best-selling Mercedes-Benz ranges of all time, admired for its build quality, comfort and engineering integrity. The diesel saloons in particular built a devoted following, prized for their robustness and their ability to cover enormous distances. As values for well-kept W123 models continue to firm up, an original diesel saloon such as this represents an appealing entry into classic Mercedes-Benz ownership.
