The 280CE was the top of the line of a very successful model range for Mercedes-Benz.

This is a car of high specifications, boasting steel sliding sunroof, power windows, burl walnut interior woodwork and Bundt alloy wheels.

The car was believed delivered new in Victoria and wears an Australian compliance plate.

The current owner has had the car for four years. The owner has had work done during his ownership, which has included – in addition to servicing – automatic gearbox service, fitment of four new tyres and a new air conditioning compressor. Most recently the car has been serviced and a new battery fitted.

A comprehensive history file shows work carried out over the years, dating back to 2011. The odometer shows 269,000km – that equates to 5,744km per year.

The car presents well with its lovely metallic red paintwork. The brightwork is good and the correct Bundt alloy wheels have been refinished. Under the dash mat are some cracks in the dashboard.

If sold to a Western Australian buyer the numberplates MB W123 will go with the car.

It starts readily and idles smoothly. The 6-cylinder motor provides plenty of torque, making for an easy drive. The car has been a weekend cruising car for its owner.

This 280CE is realistically priced – compare it to others listed at dream prices… A very usable classic, with a lot of style.
