Vehicle story

Step into a slower, richer era with this 1978 Mercedes-Benz 300D — a timeless diesel sedan finished in warm Milan Brown with unmistakable old-world charm. Built during Mercedes-Benz’s golden age of over-engineering, this W123 offers a smooth, grounded ride, elegant chrome details, and a cabin featuring Italian sports leather that feels classic without trying too hard.

Perfect for photo shoots, engagement sessions, weddings, date nights, downtown arrivals, brand content, or anyone looking to add a vintage European feel to an occasion.

Transmission

The 1978 Mercedes-Benz 300D (W123) is equipped with a 722.118 (or 722.1) 4-speed automatic transmission. It is famously robust but utilizes a complex mechanical and vacuum-controlled system to manage shift timing and quality.
