The Appeal
The W123 300TE is one of the most revered estate cars Mercedes-Benz has ever produced. Legendarily robust and with a handsome executive styling, these cars were built to cover vast distances in comfort and have rapidly settled into a fine place - an evocative, quintessentially-of-its-time car that's loaded with character.
Purchased from a Mercedes-Benz Club member in 2024, this 300TE has been garage kept throughout, and its condition impressed the judges at the Mercedes-Benz Club W124 Day in 2024, where it won best Estate. Recently, £1,400 was invested at a Mercedes specialist to resolve some running issues, and the vendor reports the engine is now strong and the car drives very well, particularly on longer journeys. With its MOT valid until February 2027, it's also ready and waiting to go.
