This car has such an emtional place in my heart. My late grandfather got one like this in the 80s, he always took care of it and it was his pet. He lived in Yugoslavia and after the war in the 90s my grandpa developed clinical depression, he stoped driving his car, he didn't even get out of the house. I remember this car as a kid, parked in front of granpa's house for years, my family didn't have a heart to sell it, so it just stood there. As my grandpa's health was deteriorating so was his car outside. The day he died I remember looking at the car all abandoned, seeing how it reflected my grandfathers health troughout the years. Whenever I see this Mercedes I am always reminded of him, and seeing a video of it being revived tears me up. Thank you for this video.

Those old mercedes are tanks , im probably gonna buy a w124 300d turbo it was sitting since 4 years and it start like no issue

Just bought an old mercedes van with a 5 cylinder diesel. It hadn’t been started since january, was stored for 2 years prior to that, barely used since 1998 and only driven 64 000 km. The battery was completely dead. Jumpstarted it and it fired up after 1 second. Brought it home and now I drive it daily on vegetable oil 🤩 Sadly I have nosy neighbors who complain about it being parked at the road outside the house. Time to find somewhere else to live… I have one video of it on my channel, not sure if I should post more videos about it.

The good old days when there was plenty of room in the engine bay to work .

My grandpa had two of these back in Yugoslavia. He bought a yellow 200d and in 1981 he drove 113.000 kilometers with it. Bought with 25.000 and sold with 300.000 kilometers. Never had problems with them.

Please save the car, I hope it doesn't get scrapped. I grew up with the w 123 and I love these old diesels. Best regards from Germany

Эта модель одна из последних у Мерседеса которую можно назвать автомобилем. При сравнительно небольших тратах он превращается в вечный авто с пробегами в несколько миллионов километров. Когда я в Калининграде первый раз сел в такси 123 кузова я подумал: ничего себе какой высокий пружинные диван и креслами германцы поставили в салон... Это любовь с первого взгляда. А потом доверчивых инженеров съели алчные маркетологи. Это был грех.

My dad had this exact car in the 80s and I learned to drive in it as an 18 year old

I remember spending my adolescent weekends washing and polishing my dad’s 1981 white 300d. It took me an age because of the size of the thing; the heavy steel wheel caps with their chrome surround had to sparkle, and so did that long engine tappet cover. I had to buff the crap out of that thing. Only years and years later, did I realise that I was given the privilege of “working” on the best car in the world.

These old diesel Benzs are slow as a snail but so reliable, this video is the proof. Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing 👍👍

my favorite! the w123 chassis is quite the icon, and will continue to be one until the end of time

Habt ihr mal wieder gut hinbekommen Jungs, er läuft. Für mich ist die Baureihe W 123 der Beste Mercedes. Vor Jahren habe ich einmal einen W 123 240D restauriert. Ich war doch etwas erstaunt, wieviel Rost und Gammel zum Vorschein gekommen ist. Einmal durchgebraten und das technische komplett überholt, der Karren läuft noch heute. Das sind ehrliche Diesel, nicht das Geklimper von den heutigen Dieselfahrzeugen.

Nice Mercedes, great you brought that 5-cylinder engine back to life. I have always a great day when of your Flexiny car start videos is in my inbox. Many thanks for that.

Beauty, elegance, timeless appearance of an elegant, comfortable car with soul. This is how many years a car can run after leaving the factory and this is how long it will experience in its life. It's amazing how much attention was paid to designing the entire car to serve people. Considering its age, the sheet metal is in really good condition. Same with varnish. Someone had to take care of this car a bit, though. The engine is durable and starts and drives after many years. Now such cars, after tuning and sometimes lowered, cost a lot of money in Poland. In good condition - PLN 60,000, very good - PLN 80,000 or more, and tuned ones up to PLN 120,000 or PLN 150,000. There will be no more cars like this. Thank you for the video :)
