1983 Mercedes-Benz 280E W123 - Petrol Blue-Green Metallic - 340,974km - DOHC Inline-6, Full Service History, Two Keys

1983 Mercedes-Benz 280E W123, 4-door sedan, right-hand drive, rear-wheel drive, 2.8-litre M110 DOHC inline-6 petrol, 4-speed automatic, 340,974 km indicated, 5 seats. Australian delivered. Location: Beverley SA. No GST.


Description


The W123 is the car that cemented the Mercedes-Benz reputation for building sedans that simply refuse to stop. Over 2.7 million were produced between 1976 and 1985, and the 280E sits near the top of the petrol range with the twin-cam M110 inline-six, the same engine family that served the SL and SEC. This particular car wears Petrol Blue-Green Metallic (factory code 877), confirmed on the Daimler-Benz data card riveted inside the engine bay. It is Australian delivered, and it comes with the kind of paperwork you almost never see at this price level: a full folder of service records with receipts, the original Mercedes-Benz maintenance booklet, owner's manual, and the factory document wallet.


At 340,974 km this is a well-used car, but the condition tells you it has been maintained. The M110 engine bay presents as unrestored but tidy, with the original air cleaner and ancillaries in place. The Petrol Blue-Green paint still holds reasonable gloss across the major panels with no significant dent damage visible. The tan MB-Tex interior is intact with no splits or tears on the front or rear seats. A dashboard mat covers the top of the dash. Zebrano wood trim is present across the console and door cappings. Air conditioning, electric windows, central locking, and cruise control are all fitted. Two sets of original Mercedes keys are included, along with a box of spare accessories. Some surface rust is visible on the boot lid seam and lower windscreen cowl area. A tow bar has been fitted at the rear.


W123 sedans with the 280E engine and this level of documentation are becoming less common as the model gains recognition as a modern classic. Clean examples have been trading between $8,000 and $18,000 in Australia depending on condition, with well-documented cars commanding a premium. The paperwork and two sets of keys add genuine value for a buyer who appreciates provenance.
