Have you got a nice standard W123?

Folks,

I help research the buying guides for Practical Classics and the next one I’ve been asked to do is on the W123. I need to find a tidy example, which I can put into the studio to photograph for the piece. Can you please get in touch with me if you’ve got a car that we can put in the studio – it needs to be in good condition and essentially to standard spec. The spec itself doesn’t matter, but something reasonably brightly coloured would be perfect as it's photographed on a white background in artificial light – so no white cars can be used and I also try to avoid black or silver, although we can use those if necessary. There will only be studio photography of the car, so there will be no dynamic shots taken at all.

If you think you might be able to help, could you drop me a line please, ideally directly to me at [email protected], attaching photos if you want to. In return for the use of your car (which nobody but you will drive), you'll get your costs paid, a set of the pictures (a studio shoot is worth about £350-£400) and your car in the magazine.

You'll need to be able to give up a few hours to take your car to either a studio in Derby or Hampshire. It would obviously be best for us to get someone reasonably close to one of these locations but not essential.

Thanks for your time,

Vicky Dredge

The low mileage 230TE which appeared on here recently would probably fit the bill .

Otherwise , Mark Cosovich ( the W123 specialist ) will know of several , I think one of Mark's restored cars is either already on display at MB World , or shortly about to be .

Jay Manek , of course , has a couple as well and may be interested ?
