Description
Price to sell not negotiable!!
Available now is a well-preserved 1983 Mercedes-Benz W123 230E, equipped with the reliable 2. 3L petrol engine and manual transmission.
The car has covered 216, 000 miles and was imported from the UK, remaining with the same owner until the end of 2024.
This beautifully preserved a rare right-hand-drive, UK-market example, distinguished by its highly unusual combination of factory-fitted options — many of which were rarely seen on the 230E model.
Key Highlights:
Rare Self-Leveling Suspension: This W123 sedan is one of the extremely rare examples equipped with self-leveling suspension—a feature that was typically found on W123 station wagons (T-models). This system ensures that the rear of the car remains level under varying load conditions, providing a smoother, more stable ride and enhanced comfort. The system is in excellent working order, making this a true standout in the W123 family. It’s a unique and sought-after feature that adds to the car's legendary reputation for durability and comfort, setting it apart from other W123 sedans.
Headlamp Cleaning System: This was an optional feature, commonly seen on higher-spec models. Its presence to add even more rarity and collector value.
Air Conditioning (A/ C): The car is equipped with air conditioning, ensuring you stay comfortable regardless of the weather.
Electric Windows (Front and Rear): Rarely found on the 230E. Most examples came with manual windows or front electrics only — rear electric windows are highly uncommon and add a premium touch of comfort.
Central Locking System: A convenient and advanced feature for the era, providing ease of access and security for all doors from a single locking point.
Electric left mirror (passenger’s side), an exceptionally rare feature for a 230E, as only the left side is electric.
Factory-fitted fire extinguisher, a rare and collectible option.
Heated rear window with logo projection, adding a touch of sophistication.
Original UK “Mill Group of Companies” service sticker on rear glass, preserving a piece of its history.
