Not everyone. I like the '85 123. It is the most refined of all of them, and it
had the best gearing.
Usually, the last model year(s) of a production run are the best. The 210's
bear this out also, I believe.

I loved the four speed OM615 combination. Slow to get you into trouble, but
with enough power to get you out safely. Rather have the manny 617 to be able
to move the lead backside of a w123

Yes, having owned and driven both a W115 220D with the 615 and manny and a
W115 300D with the NA 617 and auto, the later is FAR more preferable, as in
drivable.

I ignored the 615/616 as probably not being in great supply as well as being so
old. NA engines might not have the appeal of the stronger iron. I would think
a w115 would want a 617 for the ability to go fast.

Klima is what it looked like - heater controls, correct?

Crate up engines, transmissions and cluster and fill containers. Stacked three

The 617 is hot in the mudder market. There is a fellow here selling rebuilds

I have a few of the 123 chassis. And I regret the purchase of the
two that are '85. Too many fiddly bits, extra part

I used the airbrush today with mixed results mostly not the fault of the
airbrush. It was actually very easy to control and left little overspray. A
much better tool than a rattle can for small touch ups. The drawback, which
would be the same with a rattle can, is a significant amount of fine or

Especially if one owns one of the infamous CA version '85 W123
turbodiesels... These models have several unique parts that are getting
scarcer by the day.

The 85 may be the best (technically) but it is an orphan in that it is
incompatible (in a few ways) with earlier models and (in many ways) with newer
models. I would think this problematic for long-term ownership and parts
availability.
