Just wonderful. Had the same car, same exact color, 1984 230TE (gas) wagon, for 12years. Took it everywhere around Europe. A London Double Decker bus totaled it when a friend was borrowing. I only would have upgraded it by adding the optional 3 rear headrests - kind of critical for rear passenger safety. Little surprised you didn't up-spec to those. Oh, and I far prefer the wheels with color matched hubcaps - so much more beautiful looking car with those on there, than Bundt's. The 'dog net' is hilarious. Any half brained mutt figured out how to get past it on those open sides. Still good for protecting passengers from loads flying forward in a crunch. Beautiful work guys. Good luck with your sale!
Thank you for the comment I'm so sorry to hear what happened to your wagon. As far as the rear headrest those only came on cars with a third row seat. This car was optioned with the rear cargo net and dog net and those cars did not come with rear head rests. This is the original car in the original condition so we felt it was better not to modify it from its original condition.
I'm sorry this specific car has sold however if you look on the website we have identical year make model and color currently in progress that will be for sale in about 10 days. www.woodsandbarclay.com
Hi Mercedes professor. I need to get in contact with you. Cause you are one of the best guys at the old kind of Mercedes-Benz cars i have in my collection : 1990. W201. 190E. 1984. W123. 300D. 1978. W123. 200D. 1981.C123 230CE. Im just started collecting cars. And “l’d love to have a conversation over the phone sometime about this project of mine.
"Das Beste Oder Nichts" What is a car like this worth ??? Ask yourself, if you can find this car, and if you have the knowledge, time, money and most importantly the talented people in place to perform all of this restoration work? I know that people like to compare "comps", but not all low mileage cars are at all alike !!! I know, as I buy cars like these for a living. This is a VERY SPECIAL CAR !!! It will check all the boxes for a serious collector.
This is some of your best work John. The best or nothing phrase fits this car perfectly.
Thank you Robert :)

This has to be the cleanest 300 I've seen, and I love older benz.
It's the cleanest one I've seen too!!!
This is beyond awesome. It looks brand new. Just wow.
There's no such thing as a perfect original classic car but I was able to get this one damn close!
This car belongs in a museum. Amazing restoration
🙂
Superb quality vehicle and work. Good luck with the sale of this beauty. It won’t last long.
Thank you for the kind words. I really admire your work also. I also love your videos very well done.
What a beauty! Once I have a house with garage spaces I will fill my garage with nothing but old MB diesel!
I think that's a great idea!
Brilliant, bro!
Thank you Boris
excellent work!
Thank you
Is the car still available?

Almost too nice. I’d be scared to use it
Well if you bought one back in 1985 this is what it would look like. 😎
