I've just watched this movie on Prime ("Overtake") and must say, the camera work was great and the locations were absolutely stunning. A nice tribute to the movie "duel" and the "W123". The couple would have probably been dead if it wasn't a W123. Wonder which truck that is

Its a 1968 Kenworth Truck used by KSEB. This video might help

Hello all, I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I have only recently returned to the country after spending some time stateside, and being that the members on this thread seem to appreciate the 123 series, I thought I'd share two of my loves with you.

Here’s a new episode of the W123 taking on some rivals in a road test with Quentin Wilson from Top Gear.

Spotted this well-driven W123 yesterday, and another one on Saturday (Pics: Imports gathering dust in India) with a pair of 190Es.
