Description
This beige Mercedes-Benz 280CE (W123) has been registered to its latest keeper since 2003, and the V5C shows 4 former keepers.
It's equipped with a green fabric interior including a sunroof, with 80,838 miles showing on its odometer.
It was first registered in January 1983.
There is no battery in the car and we have not tested it.
Recommissioning will be required.
It comes with Mo
T certificates from 2003 to 2016, together with a large stack of maintenance receipts covering the same period.
These show considerable ongoing expenditure, often at main dealers.
The most recent shows £1450 spent on 6 new injectors and other fuel system parts in 2023.
In 2001 the car was recorded on VCAR as a Category D insurance loss ("damaged but repairable"), but it has passed many Mo
T inspections since then.
The latest Mo
T expired in 2019.
