1983 Mercedes-Benz W123 230CE Coupe from UK and Ireland - Comments

Hello Everyone.

I purchased a w123 230ce a few months ago and have stupidly lost the only key that I had... tragic beyond belief! I have been to MB who got a key made, as per the log book information. The key managed to open the drivers door, with great difficulty, but did not work anywhere else. MB have suggested a £500 solution... new door, boot & ignition barrel. Can anyone suggest a better way or should I go ahead and pay for my mistake!

1983 - 230CE is a very nice to drive car if you tune to it, I have one brand new from the show room and still with me until now, its that kind of things that blends to the person shampane color and maroon velor inside 4 speed power windows and a limited slip diff something really refreshing when all windows are down and music that are good to your ears around sunset in a long drive, though time has eaten the rubbers arround the windows and a stone cracked the front windsheild, I wish I could know where to find replacements, all those who have this type I am sure we have a class of dependence.

I hear you loud and clear brother. I like my old W123 300 turbo diesel so much I want to keep it for as long as possible. Regarding your need for parts and trim or rubber window seal pieces, take a look at Ebay. Enter a search in the autos section and you will be surprised at how many items are available. Happy motoring!
