A very clean and increasingly desirable Mercedes-Benz 230CE C124 pillarless coupé, finished in a rare metallic blue-grey with contrasting dark grey lower cladding and a light grey leather interior.
Powered by the smooth 2. 3-litre petrol engine and paired with a four-speed switchable automatic transmission offering Economy and Standard driving programmes.
This is an extremely clean example for its age, both inside and out. It has recently benefited from substantial mechanical and structural work, with approximately £1, 250 spent on professional welding and underbody protection. Following this extensive work, it is now a rust-free example.
Recent work includes:
• Brand-new front suspension springs
• New propshaft bearing
• New HT leads
• Recent brake discs and pads
• Fresh engine service
• New rocker-cover gasket
• Entire cooling system recently and thoroughly flushed
• Nearside and offside front suspension mounting areas repaired
• Nearside and offside rear suspension mounting areas structurally repaired
• Nearside and offside rear subframe mounting areas structurally repaired
• Welding and finishing to both rear wheel arches and associated bodywork
• Corrosion removed and new repair sections fabricated and professionally welded
• Underside prepared and treated with protective rustproof underseal
• All black exterior trim resprayed and refreshed
• Brand-new alloy wheels
• Four brand-new Goodrich tyres
Specification and equipment:
• Four-speed switchable automatic transmission
• Economy and Standard gearbox programmes
• Classic pillarless coupé design
• Sunroof
• Air conditioning
• Cruise control
• Central locking
• Electric passenger-side mirror
• Period-correct Blaupunkt stereo
• Fully working electric aerial
• Light grey leather interior
• All electrical equipment working as it should
The car presents exceptionally well for its age. The bodywork is very clean, the light grey leather interior has been well preserved, and its rare metallic blue-grey colour gives it a distinctive yet understated period Mercedes appearance.
With all four windows lowered, the pillarless design completely opens the side profile and gives the car the elegant appearance for which these classic Mercedes coupés are known.
The 230CE is smooth, comfortable and increasingly collectible. The important structural work has already been carried out, alongside recent suspension, braking and engine maintenance.
The V5 registration document is present. The car has five previous owners and comes with its owner’s manuals, some supporting paperwork and one key.
Bad points:
• The gearbox mount needs replacing
• The fuel filter needs replacing
• Both replacement parts will be supplied with the car
• Only one key is present
I am thinning out my collection of cars, so unfortunately this one has to go. I am not in a rush to sell, as C124 coupés in this condition are becoming increasingly rare.
A genuine, usable modern classic that can be enjoyed immediately and preserved for the future.
Serious enquiries only. Viewings and inspections are welcome.
