About this Mercedes-Benz W123

The Mercedes W123 was the last range of cars that are generally referred to as being 'over-engineered' and built to a standard that has never been equalled since.
Built between 1975 and 1986, they were offered as a Saloon, Coupe or Estate with both Petrol and Diesel engine options available and they were very innovative for their time. Anti-lock braking was offered as an option from as early as August 1980 and risk-adverse drivers could order their new Mercedes with an Airbag from 1982.

The cars also featured a retractable steering column and servo-assisted disc brakes and it was renowned for being a safe and reliable vehicle that well-heeled drivers were confident to put their families in.

The buying public loved them and almost 100,000 Coupes were built in total during the eight-year production run and if you’re in the market for a classic daily driver that’ll swallow a couple of kids plus a loved one for decade after decade, with only the whiff of an oily rag to keep it running sweetly, then look no further than the car we have for sale here.

This beautiful and totally original 'Time-Warp' Mercedes W123 230 CE Coupe - Chassis No: WDB1232432A138664 and Engine No: 10298020155107 is a 'Matching Numbers' car with its original 2299cc 4 cylinder Fuel injected Engine and is a rare 4 Speed Manual Gearbox and it was first registered in the name of its one and only owner from Hampton, Middlesex on 1st August 1985.

It is finished in the lovely Petrol Blue Metallic with a Beige cloth interior and has an Electric Sun Roof, Electric Windows, Power Steering and sitting on its original Mexican Hat 14" Alloy Wheels with a set of good Toyo Tyres. It has only covered a genuine and very low 64,242 Miles from new and is 100% original and has never had any welding or paint or body repairs during its lifetime whatsoever and is totally rust-free with excellent body and paintwork and all chrome work. The interior is completely original and despite some fading on the top of the rear seat, it is overall exceptional as can be seen in the photographs.
