Easiest way for me is shape of the lights at the front wing. Compare the main image to this: Link to "upload.wikimedia.org" the front lights angle in a different direction and have a different shape. |

And side trim going like second bumper at the rear and front ends. |

Some very basic identifying points: the W116 has pointed front indicators, while the W123 has rounded ones. The trim of the W123 is running above the wheelarches, unlike the trim of the W116. And finally: the W116 is longer and has a more sleek profile. |

And not to forget, that W116 was introduced way earlier. |

For me, too. So I always refused to purchase a 1974-K 70, as it has this ugly cheap 1303-thing http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j340/alan672/Picture194.jpg (plus the primitive metallen 1303/Golf I wiper- and indicator switches)  It was very important for me, to catch the pre-1974-model: http://www.ttguy.com/scot/vw/vwk70/k70dash.jpg (sorry, too late for a pic of my own car. I've put it back in the barn at noon). So important, that in early 1998 I made a ride of 1200 km to San Remo to purcase my actual car. At the same time I could have bought the last known one, a perfect mint 1975 LS with a incredible low mileage, owned by a nearly 90-year-old guy, located in my parents' town, so close, that I could go there by bicycle. But I didn't. Just because of the steering wheel (and other ugly details of the late version). -- Last edit: 2012-05-28 15:26:42 |

Correct. So when someday I may have the chance to get my ultimate dream car, the 6.3  I have to take care, not to get one of the very last ones. In their last months the W108/109 also got this ugly rubber-foam-steering wheel |

Err, the 2nd link shows the dashboard of W110, not a W115  And neither there, nor of the W115 at the first link the steering wheel is original (the W110-part has a chrome ring too much)  All white parts are unoriginal repro-stuff, too, incl. the steering wheels. The late W115 at the 3rd link was maybe a taxi, the center console looks, like there was a taxameter in before. Inexcusable in every case there is definitely the anachronistic radio. If you spot that in any classic car, you immediately have the certainty, that the owner is only a moron and not a connoisseur. |

This is correct. Mercedes had introduced the "safety steering wheel" in April 1972, for the W114/115 ande the W108/109 together. If the older steering wheels are identical with those from the W110/111, I cannot say. Maybe they are looking identical, but the sprocket-hole can be different (as at the VW-"safety steering wheel") |
