About the Mercedes-Benz S123 T Model…  “The W123T (the correct name is S123, S for Station Wagon) was produced 1978 to 1986. For the first time the “Mercedes amongst station wagons” was introduced in fall 1977. Despite extreme surcharges of around 5,000 mark against the already not-cheap sedans, the new variant was well accepted in public. Delivery times of up to two years in 1978 were not unusual. It was built in Bremen same as later also the Mercedes 190 (W201).

The S123 was exactly same length of the sedan, unlike the current models, and thus promoted the Stuttgart also. The difference was just in the other boot concept; the 45 degree sloped rear window made equally clear that this Mercedes wanted to be more leisure than craftsmen car. A level control was standard from the beginning.
The new body variant were built initially as 230 T, 250 T and 280 TE and 240 TD and 300 TD. In 1980 came the 200 T, 230 TE and 300 TD turbo-diesel. For all models alloy wheels were possible to be ordered as an option, only the 280 TE and 300 TD turbo-diesel contributed to 1982 headlights in rectangular design. There were no entirely steel bumpers for this car possible.”
