1981 Mercedes 230

History
In January 1976 Mercedes-Benz introduced the 123 series saloon. It stepped out into the limelight for the first time with all the poise and assurance of being best in class. Classic body lines placed this new Mercedes-Benz in the tradition of its predecessor (W 115/114); they gave the new car modern elegance, a spirited but dignified look, and natural authority. This was no automotive revolutionary strutting out before the public, but a completely mature car of the upper mid-size category in which up-to-date technology and tried-and-tested engineering merged with the brand values. Much as expected, experts and customers alike gave the model a very warm welcome. In various ways the design of the W 123 pointed towards the future: technically, with numerous innovations in the area of safety; and aesthetically, with a design that took its cue from the looks of the new S-Class W 116 and the current R/C 107 SL models. Expressions of this were the horizontally configured headlamps, for example, instead of the previous classic vertical lamps. The W 123 impressed with the high standard Our wonderful example comes with factory Electric Sunroof, Chrome Wheel Trims with Body Coloured Centres, Electric Front Windows and Half Leather Trim.
