AI Listing Summary
This 1980s Mercedes 280E (W123) has undergone a significant recommissioning after being stored for 30 years, now covering over 2000 miles daily. It features a desirable blue half-leather interior and an original Philips cassette player, making it a compelling classic for enthusiasts.

Condition
7
The car has been thoroughly recommissioned after being stored since 1993, covering over 2000 miles with no issues. It has had numerous parts replaced including all oils and fluids, belts, spark plugs, fuel pump, shocks, bearings, radiator, brake components, and coolant pump. The vendor states it is running perfectly. While the interior is described as blue half-leather and includes original features, the fact that it was a barn find and has part-worn tires suggests it is not in pristine or outstanding condition, but very good given the extent of recommissioning.
