At last, the definitive history of the hugely-successful Mercedes-Benz W123 series, written in English and by renowned motoring writer Brian Long. Produced in saloon/sedan, coupé, estate/wagon, LWB and chassis only form, around 2,700,000 examples of the W123 series were sold between 1976 and 1986, and, thanks to the full co-operation of the factory in Stuttgart, this book covers each and every variant from a worldwide sales perspective. Packed full of information and contemporary colour photography, it is the perfect resource for W123 enthusiasts and followers of Mercedes lore.
