	www.autoscout24.de/Details.aspx?id=217991729 Story from the advert: the (so far only) owner of this carwas a Taxi driver. He had a W123 300D as taxi. By 1984, his taxi had 250k miles on the clock. And the new Mercedes W124 was soon to be put into production. So he ordered one of the last W123 in Taxi specification, to have it as a spare - to have something he knew. As he feared his taxi might breake soon. Though the taxi didn't break, he went into retirement and now he's too old to drive and sells this unused car. True or not - the car is most definately in superb condition. Time capsule anyone?

	Unglaublich! Just freaking awesome, even all taxi equipment blocking plates still in place, and the plastic covers on the seats. The man must not have known about Mercedes' quality if he thought that his W123 300 D with 'just' 400K kms would break down soon... I'd very much like a nice W123 with low kms, but this example I would just park in my living room, what a time capsule indeed.

	This is amazing! I'm never usually a fan of garage queens and prefer to see old cars in a used but loved condition. This is very much the exception though, absolute time capsule, it's great to see modern pictures of how a car would have looked as it left the line, complete with stickers and all. My favourite thing is it's taxi spec-ness too, such a rare thing to see preserved. Rob

Oh & as much as I believe cars should be used, I can't help but think that this one really belongs in a museum.
