Description

Mercedes-Benz 200D W123 with an original mileage of 18,439 km in the beautiful color “618” Mimosa Yellow and Moss interior. The vehicle is a one-owner car. Mr. Konrad, a farmer from Bavaria, purchased the vehicle in June 1979 together with an MB-TRAC tractor. He used his Mercedes exclusively for summer Sunday outings. After Mr. Konrad’s death in 2009, the Mercedes was parked in the home garage, where it remained under the watchful eye of his widow until April 2025; I then imported the vehicle to Poland. The vehicle’s mileage upon import into Poland was 18,299 km.
The last entry from the main inspection dates from 22/08/2008, at a mileage of 18,289 km. Up to the date of purchase in April 2025, the car had covered only 9 km. The first and only entry in the service booklet is dated 30/06/1981, at a mileage of 876 km.

  • the entire body is in its original paint; no part has been repainted
  • no dents or scratches
    -the chrome is like new
  • The original 1979 tires on the wheels have been removed; they were on the vehicle until 2025
  • The engine compartment still has the factory-applied wax coating everywhere, on which dust has accumulated over the years     ;
    this was deliberately not cleaned in order to preserve the originality
  • the galvanizing on the engine and suspension components is original and like new
    -the injection pump looks as if it had just been installed
    -the underside of the vehicle looks like new, there is not the slightest sign of rust, and factory paint markings can be seen everywhere, e.g. on springs or fastening bolts
    -the vehicle’s interior smells like new, and the indicator switch feels rough
  • the steering wheel and gear lever trim is like new from the factory
  • the engine literally starts after half a revolution
  • the book covers and the books themselves are literally brand new
  • two spare keys and two leather key cases – never used
  • the original old registration document has been preserved

The Mercedes was technically inspected at the authorized Mercedes-Benz workshop Autotrade in Warsaw. The cost of the service is documented by an invoice for 10,960 PLN (approx. 2600 euros) (14/05/2025, mileage 18,299 km)

Due to their age, the tires were replaced with new Vredestein Sprint Classic tires with a rim-protection strip. New wheels were purchased for the new tires (invoice from MB Autotrade), so that the old tires could remain on the original wheels.

With its  mileage, state of preservation, color combination, and documented history, this example is ideal for discerning collectors. The opportunity to acquire an almost like-new W123 diesel does not arise very often. Further photos can be sent via WhatsApp. I speak German and English. Worldwide shipping possible.
