Mercedes-Benz introduced the W123 four-door versions in January
1976. While there were some technical similarities to their
predecessors. the new models were larger in wheelbase and exterior
dimensions. The styling was also updated. although stylistic links
with the W114/W115 were maintained. Initially. all models except
280/280E featured quad unequal-size round headlights and the latter
large rectangular units. When face lifted these units became
standard across the range. All W115 engines were carried over. It
is a tribute to the car's instant popularity - and possibly to the
caution built into the production schedules - that nine months
after its introduction. a black market had developed in Germany for
Mercedes-Benz W123's available for immediate delivery. Customers
willing to order new cars from their local authorised dealer for
the recommended list price faced waiting times in excess of twelve
months. Meanwhile. models that were barely used and were available
almost immediately commanded a premium over the new price of around
DM5000.

This Mercedes-Benz 230E was supplied to Mr. Ronald Rowe of
Newton Abbot in February 1985 and since then the car has only been
driven for 26. 00 miles; the last service was carried out with the
odometer reading 24. 10 miles on 31st January 1991. Finished
in Diamond Blue metallic with black cloth interior. this car spent
many years in storage before being purchased by the vendor. In
recent years. it has been on display at Mercedes-Benz World and in
January 2014 the car was checked throughout by their service
department and an MoT issued. This Mercedes-Benz 230E is supplied
with the original V5 in the name of Mr. Rowe. the original
correspondence and purchase documents; the service and handbook
pack with all the books and information leaflets. a file with
invoices and the sales colour brochures. This is a rare opportunity
to purchase a very low mileage model of one of the most popular
Mercedes-Benz's in the World.
