Comments from the dealer

Since 1994 our family business has been specialising in prestige European car sales from our indoor warehouse in Sydney. **WINNER of the 2020 Local Business Awards for Outstanding Automotive Services.** **1983 MERCEDES-BENZ 280CE W123 COUPE SIGNAL RED CLASSIC MERCEDES-BENZ MOTORING!** What a beautiful and increasingly desirable classic Mercedes-Benz! This lovely 1983 Mercedes-Benz 280CE Coupe is finished in striking **Signal Red with a contrasting parchment interior**, a wonderful colour combination that really suits the elegant lines of the timeless W123 Coupe. Having travelled 201,000 kilometres since new, this is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy one of Mercedes-Benz's most admired and beautifully engineered classic models. Powered by the wonderful 2.8-litre six-cylinder fuel-injected engine, coupled with a smooth 4-speed automatic transmission, the 280CE offers effortless cruising, excellent comfort and that unmistakable feeling of quality that made Mercedes-Benz famous. **Highlights include:** - Stunning Signal Red exterior - Contrasting parchment interior - 201,000 kilometres travelled since new - Desirable 2.8-litre six-cylinder fuel-injected engine - Smooth 4-speed automatic transmission - Factory-style air conditioning - Power steering - Traditional Mercedes-Benz timber interior trim - Sheepskin seat covers included - Elegant pillarless coupe design - Classic W123 engineering and build quality The W123 Coupe is a particularly attractive Mercedes-Benz, with its elegant pillarless windows, beautiful proportions and superbly engineered mechanical components. With the windows lowered, the absence of a central pillar gives the car a wonderful open and airy feeling, something rarely found in modern vehicles. The Signal Red paintwork really makes this example stand out, while the parchment interior provides a lovely contrast and a genuine sense of classic Mercedes-Benz luxury. These beautiful coupes are becoming increasingly sought after by enthusiasts who appreciate the engineering, styling and character of Mercedes-Benz vehicles from this wonderful era.
