The Appeal

Pillarless styling, impeccable engineering and build and powerful six cylinder engines. No wonder the C123 coupe is popular. These cars make great road trip wheels, perfect for classic car tours and events.

Owners tend to respect all those qualities, so buyers have the pick of good examples. But perhaps none are quite as good as this one. Finished in handsome Lapis Blue metallic with a well kept beige velour interior, it is a low mileage, two-keeper car with a truly remarkable service and maintenance file.

The result is one of the best C123s we’ve seen in recent times. It is the top specification 2.8litre model with some desirable options including electric windows all round, cruise control and an steel sliding electric sunroof.

This car is a real treat for anyone who likes their classic cars sumptuous, relaxing, cossetting and in very, very good condition.

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions..
