Great review Keyan! You are lucky you get to experience so many different variants of the brand. Looking forward to an update after the work is completed. 👌
Good Lord! Very surprising indeed. I'm amazed it can get to 120km/hr. I check and see the official top speed is claimed 135 km/hr from 44 kw motor. The 240 D is 53 kw and claimed top speed 143 km/hr. The 300D is 65 kw, and claimed top speed of 155 km/hr. I guess, as with all engines, much will depend on how well "set up"/ in tune the car is. /The 200D in the road test seems v sprites indeed.
How does this compare to the W124 200d? I’d love to have a manual 124 but I’ll have to import one (to the U.S.) or wait for a previously imported one to come up for sale.

Thank you!
W123 my dream car. Pity it's beyond my reach.
They'll do a million km Plus.
They will indeed
NICE CAR. I HAD A 23.6 1975 ORIGINAL PAINT CAR WITH ONLY 72 K MILES . I MADE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE SELLING IT

I would thing the w124 200 would run quite a bit better, a more modern motor the OM601
How did it end up in South Africa?
Via the Netherlands Embassy I believe.

Nice car. Very strange accent
and that's a very strange thing to say.
South-African
Wasn't this car on the market recently.
Interesting how some of the details on the Euro cars differ from SA cars.
Yes it was, I bought it.
