Hello from Glasgow,
Scotland.
I have a 1982 Mercedes W123 240D with the 2.4 litre OM616 naturally aspirated 72-ish horsepower
diesel with 215,000 miles on it.
Registration BWT 973X if you want to search the car's MOT
history.
I'm removing it from the car (it's still in there now) and swapping in a different
engine.
I know these can be converted for
marine use for about €3k using a new kit from DrinkWaard (includes transmission) or used from a reliable reseller for £500+/-.
Imagine: 72 hp in your
boat for £1200!!! And
parts available worldwide as the W123 was
sold just about everywhere.
If you're looking to
repower and want something solid, reliable, and easy to
work on, perhaps this could
work for you?!
It's a bit of a shot in the dark, but I just want this to go to a good home.
Compression is 350-375 on all cylinders and injection
pump is in good shape.
Price &
shipping negotiable but hoping for around £700. Will potentially
trade for small trailerable sailboat, high quaity tools, or make me an offer of some other good or
service.
Questions welcome!
