Competence, even excellence, can sometimes scan as ‘boring’ in the world of old cars, and that just about sums up the plight of the Mercedes-Benz 123-series.
Functional, rational, beautifully made and always expensive, the 123s are in many respects the essence of what a Mercedes is, or was; but they were never intended to be ‘exciting’.
The very word suggests a lack of control, a rash and impulsive streak that would not have sat comfortably with the image of absolute respectability Stuttgart still nurtured in the ’70s and ’80s.
These cars were about doing business in the real world. In the sometimes flaky genre of old cars, I have occasionally allowed myself to think that the W123 might just be a bit too sensible, reliable and practical to qualify as a ‘true’ classic.
