230E, 1985. Owner: David Phoon. Sydney, Australia.
What a great website! It's fantastic to see so many W123's from all over the world being looked after by appreciative owners.
Here are some pix of my father's 230E. He bought it new in 1985, trading in his 1980 300TD at that time. Regrettably, whilst he obviously likes this car (having kept it for 21 years), he still says he probably should've kept the 300TD as it was better finished and better made.
The car has done 200,000km and is original and unmolested. Whilst it has never been cherished, it has been well looked after. It has never been repainted or re-upholstered and still presents like a new car. They don't make 'em like they used to!
Cheers,
Michael (D. Phoon)
