1979 Mercedes-Benz W123 230C Coupe review from Croatia
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, except I had a minor accident. It was repaired with new original parts (expensive!), and it still runs like a clock.
General comments?
Great car, relatively rare. Interior and exterior in near-perfect condition. Great for drawing attention. Every time I stop to refuel I get offers from prospective buyers.
Regular maintenance cost is surprisingly low, but spare parts cost the Earth! Fuel consumption is pretty high.
Have to watch out for possible rust. It is, after all, 20 years old!
