Metallic colours were rarely offered as factory fitment on Mercs of that era.

Lovely car though!

For those classic enthusiast that want to research their Mercedes W123: a new w123 book has recently been published. One of the authors is Martin Buckley, one of the UK classic car authorities.

I just got my copy and Im very impressed. I own more or less every English, Dutch and German book on the W123, but this is without doubt the most comprehensive

Rim size should be 16 for this car . 17. Meaning someone has changed the wheels .

Cheers

Looked at the pictures on olx and it looks like the car is already under restoration, it would have been great had it been untouched !

the auction is all over months ago

vinay kamath · 18th July 2015, 13:56

not months ago, just a few days ago. two or three Mercedes cars remained unsold. But they may be LHD and not possible to be registered again. One would need to inspect the vehicles at Delhi, and get all facts & conditions right , before taking any decision. If I spot the advertisement again, I shall inform TBHPians.
