1976 · 🇩🇪 Germany · 123 hp
The Mercedes-Benz W123 is a mid-size luxury sedan produced from 1976 to 1985, replacing the W114/W115 series. Available in sedan, coupe, and estate (T-model) body styles, it became one of the best-selling and most durable Mercedes-Benz models ever built. The base 230E produced around 136 hp, though diesel variants like the 240D were popular for their legendary reliability. The W123 earned a reputation for near-indestructible build quality, with many examples still in daily use decades later, making it a beloved classic worldwide.
