1976Mercedes-Benz 200

The most honest car ever built.

Two and a half million W123s left the factory, and a great many are still on the road today, plying the streets of Marrakesh, Athens and Beirut as taxis. To engineers, the W123 is the platonic ideal of the automobile: built to outlast its owner, and frequently does. Ours is a 1976 European-spec four-cylinder in a deep diplomat blue — chosen not for its rarity, but for its honesty.
