1985 MERCEDES-BENZ 300D AUTOMATIC W123A handsome and increasingly collectible example of Mercedes-Benz’s renowned W123 300D saloon presented in smart Signal Red, the period factory colour associated with Mercedes-Benz paint code 568.Showing 120,748 miles, this automatic 300D has spent some considerable time in dry storage and was last MOT tested in 2012.
