1977 | Mercedes-Benz 280 CE

The Mercedes-Benz W123 is one of the most iconic classic cars ever made, and this 1977 Mercedes 280CE coupe is a fantastic example. Known for its timeless design, build quality, and reliability, the Mercedes W123 became the best-selling car in Germany in its day. The coupe version, especially the Mercedes 280CE, has always been the more exclusive version. Today, finding a well-preserved 280CE is getting harder, and this one is something special.

Exterior: The first thing that strikes you about this Mercedes 280CE is its stunning color. Finished in Zypressgrün Metallic (paint code 876), it perfectly complements the elegant lines of the Mercedes W123 coupe. This car has undergone a top-quality respray, done properly with all body panels and windows removed, and everything reassembled with brand-new Mercedes rubber seals. The entire respray process was carefully documented before, during, and after, ensuring everything was done by the book. The body, chassis, and underside are completely free of rust, which makes this example stand out even more. The chrome trim is in great shape, and the car sits on its original wheels with good tires. We also have a set of classic Mercedes “Barock” alloys available if you’d prefer. Overall, the exterior of this 280CE looks absolutely beautiful and is in exceptional condition.

Interior: Inside, this Mercedes W123 280CE is a time capsule. The brown interior with classic checkered cloth seats is not only a perfect match for the green paint but also incredibly comfortable. The seats are in great shape, with only small signs of wear on the driver’s seat, nothing unusual for a car of this age. The dashboard, wood trim, and headliner are all excellent, and the Becker stereo and sunroof work as they should. The carpets have been replaced with the correct factory style, and everything inside feels solid and well-kept, just like a proper Mercedes should.

Engine and mechanics: Driving this 1977 Mercedes 280CE is a real pleasure. The 2.8-liter straight-six engine feels smooth and strong, and the automatic gearbox shifts effortlessly. The Mercedes W123 platform is famous for its comfort and durability, and this coupe is no exception. The suspension feels soft and composed, making this a perfect classic for relaxed cruising. It’s reliable, usable, and feels just as good on the road today as it did when it left the factory.

History and Documentation: This Mercedes W123 280CE was sold new in Sweden and has only had a few long-term owners, all of whom clearly cared for it. The car comes with its original books, all original keys, a period Mercedes sales brochure, full MOT history confirming the mileage, and a folder of invoices documenting parts and maintenance. It’s rare to find a Mercedes 280CE with such a complete history and this level of preservation.
