There is a W123 230 coupe for sale local to me in good shape which has captured my interest............
What are they like?
I fancy something a little bit different and the retro image/coolness of an old-school "chrome" Merc appeals.
Will it feel 20+years old (an eon in car design) or will it still be an acceptable drive?I dont mind soft suspension but what about engine/wind/tyre noise?
I`m not particularly interested in performance/traffic light Grand Prix`s but if it is a nice,calm,pleasant ride that i can simply waft around in it might suit.A personal hate though is noise.....
When i see these vintage Mercs i remember the "riding on air" phrase,or is the reality somewhat different?
Are they pillarless and do the rear windows go down?
Are spares readily available?
Thanks.
