Description

Exceptionally original, rust-free and excellently preserved

For sale is an exceptionally well-preserved 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300 TD Turbodiesel. The vehicle has been in family ownership for many years and has always been carefully treated and maintained.

The Mercedes particularly impresses with its very original, unmodified condition. The bodywork, interior and mechanics are exceptionally well maintained. The vehicle is rust-free and shows none of the corrosion problems frequently encountered with this model series. This is expressly not a restoration project, but a high-quality collector's vehicle that is ready for immediate use.

The 300 TD Turbodiesel combines the classic elegance and quality of the 123 series with the particularly robust and durable five-cylinder turbodiesel engine. Combined with the automatic transmission, the vehicle offers a confident, comfortable and authentic driving experience.

Vehicle details:

  • Built in 1985
  • Approx. 150,000 km mileage
  • 300 TD Turbodiesel
  • Automatic transmission
  • Very original and unmodified condition
  • Rust-free bodywork
  • Exceptionally well-maintained interior
  • Very good overall technical and visual condition
  • New MOT (07/2025)

The vehicle's exceptional substance is particularly noteworthy. The panel gaps, chrome parts, exterior fittings and interior convey a very high-quality and authentic overall impression. The Mercedes has not been modernized, modified or altered by subsequent changes. It is precisely this originality that makes it particularly interesting to collectors and connoisseurs.

The car is suitable both as a high-quality classic for regular outings and as a long-term value-retaining collector's vehicle. Good and largely original examples of the S123 are becoming increasingly rare – especially with this engine, this mileage and without rust problems.

The sale is taking place solely because the vehicle is to be sold from the family collection. There is no pressure to sell and this is not a distress sale. We are looking for a serious buyer or enthusiast who appreciates the exceptional condition and history of this Mercedes.

Viewing and test drives are possible by prior appointment. I will be happy to provide serious prospective buyers with additional pictures, documents and detailed information.

Please no unrealistic price offers, requests for trades or inquiries from resellers.
