Powered by the renowned M102 2. 3-litre inline four-cylinder petrol engine paired to a 4-speed automatic transmission, this 230E delivers smooth, refined performance with the solid, assured driving feel that defined the W123 generation. The car presents beautifully throughout, with straight body panels, bright chrome, and an exceptionally clean interior that still reflects Mercedes-Benz craftsmanship of the 1980s. The interior features blue leather and cloth spring seats, a leather dashboard, and a Zebrano wood centre console all in excellent condition.

Having covered 172, 792 miles with five previous owners, this W123 runs and drives superbly smooth, stable, and confident on the road. The automatic gearbox shifts cleanly, the steering is precise, and the suspension retains that unmistakable Mercedes ride comfort. The 230E's balance of performance, durability, and understated luxury makes it one of the most admired saloons of its era. Offered with a new 12-month MOT, health check, and the original Kwik Fit lifetime exhaust warranty, this car represents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-preserved example of one of Mercedes-Benz's greatest engineering achievements.
