It was/is 230E and i still have it.
Unfortunately it's a wreck, completely covered with half-meter snow.

FastestLaps! I have read that you used to have a W123. Which model was that? 230E?

This is a bit strange but there are no entries for year 1986 in einszweidrei Mercedes-Benz section.
I wanted to verify weight they listed on their site with weight that's on my registration for 1986 260E. Because on the registration it says "self weight" 1330kg and "maximum full weight" 1850kg.
It is a little bit strange that type w124 E420 is almost 400 kilos heavier than type w124 260E.

I find it hard to believe that it's 1727 kilograms. Where did you get this figure from?

I would rather put in this car a 7 speed automatic transmission from a modern Mercedes. It would be really fast!
