1982 Mercedes-Benz W123 review from Russia
"A beauty not many people can recognize it in Russia"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There were actually too critical things I had to do. Soon after I bought the car I had to replace the silencer (on the second day of ownership) and in about a month came another problem which was a badly leaking rad. I had to replace it as well.
General comments?
I cannot and I shouldn't expect more from a car that old, but performance is far above my expectations anyway.
