“Some cars wear their years better than others — and this 1979 Mercedes-Benz W123 250 is one of those. Honest, original, and beautifully preserved, it shows just how good a W123 can be when cared for properly.
With only 153,000 km on the clock, this car still carries its original engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, offering the exact driving experience Mercedes intended more than four decades ago.
The paintwork remains original, a rare find on cars of this age, and the interior is exceptional, boasting its crack-free dashboard and all the charm of late-70s Mercedes design. It’s a true time capsule — not restored, just preserved.
Books and manuals are present, with partial service history filled into the service book. It was maintained privately over the years, which explains its clean condition and careful upkeep. Even the extra spotlights have been neatly fitted and can be removed with ease if desired.
The 250 model is seldom seen today, making this one particularly special. Combined with its originality, mileage, and condition, it represents exceptional value for money in today’s market.
Paperwork is in order and up to date.
This is a perfect runner, a car you can enjoy daily or keep as a prized collectable.
Located in Shere, Pretoria East – viewings by appointment only.
