Description
A very attractive and well-cared-for 1981 Mercedes-Benz 230CE Automatic Coupe finished in the desirable Silver Blue Metallic with blue interior and wood trim. Part of the legendary W123 range, the 230CE is widely regarded as one of Mercedes-Benz's finest products from an era when the company was renowned for building cars to exceptionally high standards. Combining elegant pillarless coupe styling with everyday usability, these cars are becoming increasingly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. This example has covered 86, 000 miles, which is believed to be genuine. I have owned the car since 2017 and am only selling due to relocating abroad. The car has always been garage-kept during my ownership and is never driven in wet weather. It has been maintained regardless of cost, with most servicing and upkeep carried out by myself, ensuring it remains in excellent mechanical condition. EquipmentFactory equipment includes:Automatic transmissionElectric sunroofElectric windowsPower steeringServo-assisted brakesCentral lockingElectric aerialCentre armrestFront and rear headrestsDual-zone heating systemCondition & Driving ExperienceThe car starts readily, drives beautifully and performs exactly as a well-maintained W123 should. The automatic gearbox changes smoothly, the steering is precise, and the car feels solid and refined on the road. The tyres are all in excellent condition, and the sale includes the original set of Mercedes-Benz "Mexican Hat" alloy wheels, so you can switch to these if you prefer. The bodywork and interior present very well overall. In the interest of complete honesty, there is some corrosion to the driver's-side rear bumper corner and minor corrosion behind the rubber strip on the driver's-side front bumper. These are the only notable cosmetic issues I am aware of. Historic VehicleThe car is registered as a Historic Vehicle, meaning it is exempt from both road tax and annual MOT testing. Nevertheless, it was voluntarily MOT tested on 10 April 2026 for additional reassurance. A charming and increasingly collectable classic Mercedes coupe that is ready to be enjoyed immediately. Viewings are welcomed and encouraged. Any inspection is welcome.
