1983 MERCEDES BENZ 280E

The Mercedes-Benz W123 is a range of executive cars produced by German manufacturer Mercedes-Benz from November 1975 to January 1986.

The W123 became a hit with the public due to its modern look, Mercedes ensured high and consistent quality, and therefore gained the reputation of being over engineered, well built, durable, and reliable. Many taxi companies chose the W123 for this reason, and they were a common sight in Germany. Reaching 500,000 or 1,000,000 km with only minor mechanical issues was common with W123s used as taxicabs. Once the W123 reached the end of its service life, they were often shipped to Africa and third world countries where they were highly esteemed for their ability to travel on rough roads and to not require frequent maintenance.

This beauty is well taken care of with her original paint job and factory fitted sunroof. She needs a little TLC and could do with a good service including her fuel tank, fuel lines, a thermostat and a water pipe. Overall, she is in good condition and could be a daily driver.
