It’s worth mentioning the Crayford St Tropez too, a convertible based on the coupe and built in Britain. Mercedes debuted the W123 coupe (or C123, to Mercedes diehard fans) in 1977, available as a 230C, 280C, 280CE and 300CD – although the British market only received petrol options. Four diesel options were available, along with four petrol options – the top 280 model was also available with fuel injection. The Mercedes-Benz W123 has earned itself a reputation as one of the few truly bulletproof classics, having found favour throughout its life in many developing countries and challenging environments. Mercedes had produced a solidly built, over-engineered, safe saloon and coupe it was much the same as Mercedes’ previous Stroke Eight, albeit with a wealth of improvements. When Mercedes launched the new 200-280 series (Code name W123) in 1976, it seemed to be more of the same. For many, the Mercedes-Benz W123 series is the ultimate classic Merc – and with good reason.
