Description

* I am away until 4th September and will update the photos accordingly*

Selling my lovely W123 280E, in arguably the best and rarest colour combination, as I am now doing far more miles than before. ULEZ Compliant. MOT & Tax Exempt. It currently sits on around 133k. It has been my daily driver since November 2025 (I’ve done approximately 6, 500 miles) and it’s been nothing but a joy. If you’ve not driven a W123, they are sublime in comfort. They’re quite literally an armchair car and the straight six 2. 8 is the best you can buy. It starts first time, every time and has never let me down. In the last 3, 000 miles it’s had new: X6 Bosch Injectors & Seals, Bosch Spark Plugs, Bosch Fuel Pump, Main Tank Line, Febi Front Wheel Bearings. In the last 2, 000 miles: New rear O/ S Caliper, Brembo rear discs & pads. In the last 1, 000 miles: New Bosch fuel actuator, new fuel filter, K-Jet Injection system and timing set up. A lot of mechanical work has been carried out in the last 2 years to the tune of £5, 000+. It is a 10’ car as they say, it looks lovely from distance (as it does in the photos) but it does have blemishes and defects. Front wings need painting, as they’ve been done badly before. It has various bits around it but is generally very straight. The bottom of the driver and passenger front doors have bubbling. The MB Tex interior is generally very good; there is an opening in the driver’s seat where the stitching has failed. It is a wind-up window car with very little extras from factory. Audison APX 6. 5’’ front & rear speakers and a retro(ish) look Blaupunkt DAB/ Bluetooth stereo. It has had welding in the past, what UK W123 hasn’t, but it is generally solid. I have priced it accordingly and with some paintwork it’ll easily be worth £9, 995+. Very rare in this colour combination... Find another!Viewing welcome and advised. I can do a video/ call walkaround if that is something you require. I am away until 4th September.
