i know someone who is selling a rusty 123 diesel wagon but insists it is a 87.it is clearly a 123 body.i thought the earliest they made it was 85.could it have been marketed as an 86 if produced in late 85?
just curious
thanks

W123s were produced from 1976-1985, 1979-1985 for the 300TD. There were only 7 1986 W123 diesel wagons in the entire world, every 300TD in 87 is a W124.

If its a W123 turbodiesel wagon then its without a doubt an 81-85 model.
