Mercedes-Benz 300D Turbodiesel

The Mercedes-Benz W123 cars, produced from 1976 through 1986, surpassed their predecessor, the W114 "slash-8" models, as the most successful Mercedes to date, selling over 2,5 million cars before they were replaced by the W124 in 1985. Mercedes-Benz also introduced a smaller W201 range of models in 1982. Model names were related to engine sizes, type of engine and chassis type, with D signifying Diesel, E standing for Einspritzung (fuel injection), T designating Transport and Tourism (estate/station wagon) and C referring to the Coupé. The W123 was the first Mercedes to have a factory-offered station wagon version. Furthermore, the 3-litre turbodiesel engine was one of the first such cars on the European market, available with automatic transmission only. Long wheel base models of the 250 and 240D with 7 seats were typically used as taxi cabs, while other options included leather upholstery, wooden linings, 5-speed manual transmission (European market only), 4-speed automatic transmission, 4-speed manual transmission, rear-facing extra seats (station wagon only), Standheizung, airconditioning, automatic airconditioning, power windows (front and rear), headlamp wipers (European market only), Tempomat (cruise control), power steering (standard after 1982/08), seat heating and CO converter (available from 1984). Power assisted braking was standard on all W123's. The American W123s differed from the European versions due to U.S. legislation, incorporating features such as much larger bumpers, sealed-beam headlights and a different location for the ID tag.
