Description

1983 Mercedes-Benz 230CE (W123)

Appealing example from long term 25 year ownership that's seen little recent use with recent MOT showing no advisories

Supplied new by Howells of Worcester in June 1983 and still with its original delivery check sheet, this particular Coupe has been in the current ownership since 1991.

Under the bonnet, we find the fuel-injected 2.3-litre four-cylinder engine which produced around 134bhp and 148lb/ft of torque, sufficient to propel the car to a top speed of 118mph (when new!).

Traditionally well cared for by our long-term owner, the car has been in storage since 2011/2012 until recently.

The history file includes the V5C recording just two former keepers to our vendor who has owned the car some 25 years, the owner’s pack and service book revealing 16 stamps, the last by local MB specialist Dovermans at 22,720 miles (undated). 

The replacement speedo was fitted (as noted in the service book) in May 1991 by Euro Car and Commercial Mercedes dealer, Hereford at c.70,902 miles suggesting the car to have covered c.98,000 miles in total.

Understood to be in good condition with a particularly clean interior, it is also fitted with a Sony CD player and has a current MOT until August 2023 recording no advisories which is a testament to the build quality given the last MOT was in 2011 at 29,727 miles.
