Good afternoon all please see my new 123 project , it’s been stored for just shy of 30 years and belonged to a customer of mines farther who bought it off an Australian chap as he finished his tour of Europe in the uk it’s incredibly solid with an as new interior. I trying to get it uk registered but now need an ageing certificate from MB or a reliable source . Does any one have any experience of this process or any tips . Kind regards Andy

Such a lovely Q-car! 😍
What year is it?
Smell inside is it still fresh or does it have a musty smell from 30 year of storage?

When I was a kid, my daddy's first Merc was a 1977 240D, then he moved up to a 1987 W124 300D which he imported from Germany back in 1988.
The 300D was great. :thumb:

Hi nooglieman ,

Yes musty love. It. Or hate it ! It was manufactured in 79 and I think purchased and registered in Germany circa 92 by the Australian chap and. His wife who toured Europe towing a Eriba caravan ( my customer has that as well !) it still has his tour guides inside the car and a koala bear good luck charm - all part of its history and are fantastic!
 
I guess you have some stuff to take care of, will be a fun project car for you and the son.
Good luck with the ownership.
