1979 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

This Mercedes-Benz (W123) 280CE is a handsome 1970s pillarless coupe, finished in a period-appropriate colour combination. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 2.8-litre straight-six, delivering around 136kW to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. While delivered new to the UK, it is understood to have been exported to Australia during the 1980s. This 280CE is offered for sale by the motor trade at No Reserve. The car is finished in brown over a beige vinyl-trimmed cabin, punctuated by wooden dashboard inlays. It rides on a set of 14-inch ‘Bundt’ wheels, shod with Hankook tyres. The specification includes air conditioning, electric windows, and a Kenwood CD player. Accompanying the sale is the owner’s book pack and service history. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. The seller is not aware of any electrical or mechanical faults. The car was last serviced at 242,450 kilometres, which included replacing the fuel pump, fuel filter, and rocker cover gasket. This Mercedes-Benz (W123) 280CE is a handsomely proportioned modern classic coupe, blending its stylish lines with a smooth straight-six and a slick-shifting automatic transmission. Offered for sale at No Reserve and reported by the seller to be accompanied by a comprehensive service history, it would make a stylish retro daily driver and a sophisticated road-trip companion for its next enthusiast owner.
