    Thank you so much for finally doing this video. I love these cars but I am not mechanically inclined, therefore I really rely on a few of the remaining old timers who are still willing to work on them.

    Great video and the Mercedes W123 looks great. My dad had one car for 25 years and it was the Mercedes W123 -250 from Germany. It was the most reliable Mercedes model ever produced.

    Thanks for a lovely sharing! I’ve recently acquired a 1981 W123 200 manual. Runs smoothly. Totally zero electronics! 😊👌

    Love it. Especially the black interior!
    Also glad you didn’t have your Modern Talking CD on hand! 😂
    I can’t understand why nearly all 80’s Merc videos play Modern Talking (even though their songs sounded all nearly the same) the videos almost always play Cheri Cheri Lady. Why?!…

    Very much enjoy all your W123 videos and looking to one day acquire one. Right now, have 2001 W210. With the age, would you recommend replacing all rubber hoses i.e., radiator, brake, fuel hoses etc?

    Big transformation. The black interior is v attractive with the white exterior.

    Nice work but living with an old 200D and its (lack of) performance must be a challenge 😂😂

    It’s weird seeing a LHD car with the RHD passenger door pull on the driver door and the headlight level and defroster switch in the RHD positions.

    Looks nice. Might get a lower cost one in UAE.

    These are really awesome cars , but there is a immense pain in getting parts for this shit boxes which makes all the fun go away ,
    Rather buying a decent latest model can saves headache and we enjoy the car freely.

      That’s not at all accurate. I literally own a business that supplies parts for them. New cars are absolute rubbish.
