Introduced in 1975, Mercedes-Benz's W123 series cars perpetuated the marque's enviable reputation for engineering integrity. Well-built with a sense of solidity missing from today's model range, the W123 cars featured all round independent coil-sprung suspension, disc brakes and power steering. Devoid of exterior plastic trim and regarded by some as the last of the 'chrome era' Mercedes, W123s enjoy something a cult following.

Finished in the handsome combination of Light Ivory with Palomino MB-Tex upholstery and Zebrano wood trim, chassis WDB1231832F048682 was built for the UK market to order number 0553749813. Powered by a 2399cc four-cylinder diesel engine allied to five-speed manual transmission, it featured such niceties as a sunroof, central locking, luggage nets and heat insulating glass. First registered in Warwickshire (or so its ‘C874 YUE’ number plate would imply), the Mercedes-Benz is understood to have belonged to various members of the same family before entering the current ownership in 2021. Barn stored on a farm prior to then, the paintwork had suffered from bird lime and so the seller decided to treat the 240TD to a bare metal respray. Believed to have covered a modest 116,000 miles from new (an average of c.2,975 miles per annum), the Estate has been kept in running order but not returned to the road.
