At the end of the sixties Mercedes were developing a successor to the W 114/115 series model that came out at the end of 1967/68. Particular attention was paid to the strong points of improved safety, easy service, reliability, more comfort and a modern but timeless design. The first prototype was available in 1974. It was soon evident that the new series with the internal designation W 123 was a total success. It was based on the good workmanship, the comfort, the quality bodywork and the perfect attention to detail of a very well designed car and it had no direct competition. All the W 123 models also offered a clearly laid out and functional cockpit, roomy interior and outstanding longevity. Die cast details: Engine hood and front doors can be opened; Controllable steering wheel; and Steerable front wheels.
