My G comes off the road next month to get prepped for racing next year so I needed something to run around in.. always fancied a 123 estate.. and white is this season's colour 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mercedes-300td-W123-Diesel-Estate-Manual-1982-/151033201685?ViewItem=&ssPageName=ADME%3AB%3AEOIBSA%3AGB%3A3160&item=151033201685&nma=true&si=mBBoolpQv24F4yXhEfKo%252B1bmpP0%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Not sure what I'll do about the VO conversion - probably rip it out.. anyone have experience?

Now all it needs is a Myna Pump, 606 and Eaton Blower...

Well done mate. 123 is the way to go. Saying that you could have bought mine as I'm thinking of selling now to fund G project...

The description says that it's manually operated ?? How big is the tank? Where's the heater etc?

Can you send me info and pics as a PM. I might have a use for it. I've got some wider BBs style alloys for your 123 in silver if you're interested in a deal . Good tyres too. You might need them to go drifting..

Re: So I bought a W123 Estate

Hi, Here you go. I had them fitted to my car for about 6 months then got some new steel wheels and standard size tyres. They need about 5-10mm spacers but i cant find those. Two of the tyres are from 2010. The others are older but not cracked or damaged in any way. I've attcahed a pic of my TE as well.

Please take a look at your VO system and report back.
