Re: [MBZ] anybody need a LWB 123?

[LWB250]

Having researched the 123LWb for several years before purchasing one myself, I 
learned a lot about both the gas and diesel versions.  The diesels were 
designed specifically for taxi service, and were purposely geared for driving 
in city traffic.

Many (more like most) of the 123LWB diesels that made it over here did so after 
they were taken out of service as commercial vehicles in western Europe, mostly 
in Belgium from what I could tell.

I'm a little surprised this one has MBTex rather than velour or cloth, which 
was typically used, but then again, you could order them any way you wanted.

At least it has manual climate control.  It should also have 15" wheels, rather 
than the stock 14".

Chris, I was thinking that might make a good car for you!  holds more

Surprisingly, it looks like it should be exactly as fast as a standard 
non-turbo 300D.  The "W" 300D has a 3.46 rear end while the LWB "V" 300D 
has a 3.96, and the TDM says they should both hit 100kph in 19.2 seconds 
with the autosuck, despite the long one weighing an extra 180 kilos.

I think the long wheelbase 123s were taxis. The limos were built on the 116
or 126 chassis (what's the plural of chassis?).
