You're in a Benzo as your first car? NICE! Where are you located? I've got a 230CE, although it's currently rusting in peace back home til I finish uni. Kinda find myself wishing I'd gone for a saloon these days! I've got some wire wheels to go on mine, then the dream is either air ride or hydros! Where did you manage to find some coil overs? Have you had to sacrifice the benz magic carpet ride quality? Here's mine:  |

Nice Benz. And excellent choice of first car - mine was a 230E. Eight years later and it's still on the drive.
So, let's see those coilies. I'm intrigued.

Great looking car...
Just a thought...
This is not a 200T...
T means "Estate wagon" and you have a sedan.

The insurance on the car for me is free coz my dad owns a couple of companys. he has just added it to the comp insurance and I'm on the insurance so its all good, but ive checked out sites and what i had in the 1st place was me as a named driver on my mums policy which was from the co-op insurance fully comp and named drivers earn their own no claims and it came out to just under a grand which is still propa cheap for a 18Yr old kid drivin a Merc |

. Ive got a Mercedes Benz W123 200 1984. Dad got it for me when I passed my test which was back in september. Since then just been takin it slowly and restoring it. Giving it a whole new paint job etc. Got loads of progress pics, which will be up soon. The car's already on Coilovers and dropped to 80mm. Ive recently just got some BBS wheels and tried them out damn is the car low. Been primering the car the past couple of days and hopefully it will be in the garage for final spray in the next 2 weeks. Then its cruzin around LOW AND SLOW.
