A plus
In the annals of classic saloons, the Mercedes-Benz W123 is a perfect example of durability and excellence. Elegant design, quality engineering and robust construction make it a timeless car, illustrated here by this exceptional example from 1981.
This is a highly original model whose remarkable condition is not the result of little use. With 250,000 km on the clock, this W123 has barely been run in. The bodywork, paintwork and interior suggest a car that has covered far less than that distance. All of which testifies to the build quality of Mercedes cars from the 1980s.
This 230E is equipped with the robust 2.3L four-cylinder engine, mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox, a rare configuration. Carefully maintained throughout its life, it has a well-furnished history file dating back to its beginnings. Purchased by the vendor in 2022, he claims that the car has been 100% reliable, even on long journeys, and has not required any work since its purchase.
Sold with an MOT valid until September 2029, this superb classic is as elegant as it is easy to use. A car made to be driven and enjoyed.IMG_5089 Busquets.jpeg4.64 MB
