Hi Jaymanek,any idea how many K's that would be to convert a w123,as i quite like the idea of getting my one done,imaculate bodywork in pajet red with cream leather,a nice v8 would make it perfect!

No I'm afraid I don't know anything about this particular one .
All I do know is that you beat me too it i rang about it Sunday evening and it had gone I then saw your post and realised it was the same car. Best of all I know the most you could have paid for it and at the asking price it was a bargain.
Good look with it if you need to know anything or any parts give me shout' I break them and repair em too.

Now my C36 is up and running, it'll be going in for a respray soon so I'll probably end up selling the W123 to fund the C36 and also I'm running out of space!

I bought it on a bit of a whim (see my other thread) as a runabout while the C36 is getting done.

 

[cliveyboy8]

you get a general warm feeling just wafting about...

Totally agree. I love wafting about in my 230E. You have made a really good job of cleaning the interior.

I'm sure you will keep it - lovely car.

An late 90's C36 is way too geez. A W123 230CE is a true classic.

Ditch the C36. Keep the CE.

And the natural order of things is restored !

 

[silverw140]

just keep both you cant have too many mercs

Ditch the C36. Keep the CE

When I buy my 'toys', I do so with my children in mind; if they like it, I keep it for a while. If not, then it will go.

Out of the classics that I've been buying and selling, not one of them will even get in the W123, they loved the Mark I Golf GTi cabriolet though.

I might advertise it to see of it gets any interest and if it doesn't sell then I'll have to find somewhere to store it.

if you do end up selling it though give me a shout

Will do.

I had a 230 ce in bronze from over Lancashire way. Lovely thing it was. Rotten in parts unseen but on the surface and to drive it was like a swan.

Later w124 300ce was everyday usable though and a gem to drive. Horses for courses, I guess. But I'd have either again. Pillarless coupes never get old, just more classic!

Lovely car, nice job on the clean up.
