Time has come, to offer my classic old Benz up for sale, recently moved residence and just don't have room for all my vehicles.
You wont find a 1980 300D Turbo listed anywhere as they weren't sold new here in Australia. (VERY RARE CAR)
There's a plate in the engine bay saying ,"DMT Approved TURBO", I'm led to believe turbocharger was dealer fitted to it when new as the W123 300D is very 'doughy' and sluggish in non- turbo form, But the small Turbocharger transforms this classic into a rocket once the foot goes down!

Almost 600,000kms so she's almost run in, there's one in Mercedes museum in Germany with 2,000,000kms running strong....These cars are legendary!
I bought as my "Armagedon Machine" to run on chip oil,but never did as its just too easy to buy diesel at the servo, and the world didn't end.

Paint is somewhat faded with nice patina and a few rust spots here n there, there's rust bubbles along the rear edge of the boot behind the bumper, and a bit in top corners of boot, all 4 doors have rusty bottoms, definitely repairable.
Floors, scuttle, and firewall are all good.
Windscreen is cracked on passenger side.

Nice to drive, with that solid Benz feel, Bilstein shocks, and 4 wheel disc brakes, new master cylinder.
Cheap to run at 10kms to a litre, plus oil and filter changes every 10,000kms.
Recently fitted new glow plugs and H.D. relay, as well as a larger H.D.alternator and battery.
Kenwood cassette player with cord for ipod connection.
She's on club rego, which is non-tranferable, (car is test-driveable) so sold basically as is.

This car will get you anywhere, with legendary Mercedes Benz reliability and safety.
40 years old and ready to go another 40 plus years...
No technology, no computers or electronics to go wrong, will even survive an atomic pulse!

Ring o41622o457 to arrange inspection (recomended),

I believe pictures and description give a good idea of condition.
Car is located in Currumbin, and ready to go.

This car is a solid investment if tidied up...
