1980 | Mercedes-Benz 280 CE

The 1980 Mercedes-Benz 280 CE is a classic coupe from the W123 series, renowned for its durability, elegance, and engineering excellence. Powered by a 2.8 litre engine with Bosch fuel injection, it delivered smooth performance and a refined driving experience. The coupe featured distinctive pillarless windows, chrome accents, and a luxurious interior with wood trim and comfortable seating. It was well-regarded for its build quality, safety features and timeless design. Popular among enthusiasts today, the 280 CE represents the golden era of Mercedes-Benz craftsmanship, offering a blend of style, reliability and understated sophistication that continues to age gracefully on modern roads.

This delightful example was registered in April 1980 and presents extremely well in cream coachwork with a contrasting green interior. The paintwork and trim are a testament to the quality of this desirable 45-year-old coupe with both in good order, showing little sign of wear and tear. This stylish Mercedes benefits from a factory fitted sunroof, front armrest and low ownership. Presented to auction with a V5C registration document and, although exempt by age, a valid MoT test certificate. Mercedes-Benz coupes have, unsurprisingly, enjoyed a consistent level of popularity amongst enthusiasts and with its sensible estimate, this car is ready to join a collection or to be enjoyed straight away.
