The W123 series Mercedes-Benz remains the absolute high-water mark for the brand’s legendary over-engineering and unyielding build quality.

While the saloons were utilitarian workhorses, the two-door C123 Coupés brought a sharp injection of mid-size luxury and jet-set glamour to the range.

Strikingly designed with a shorter wheelbase than its four-door sibling, the coupé features a magnificent pillarless hardtop profile, allowing for an entirely open side view when all windows are wound down.The 1978 Mercedes-Benz 230 C is powered by the dependable 2.3 litre M115 inline-four engine, breathing through a Stromberg carburettor to deliver a balanced blend of period performance and renowned reliability.

Mated to a smooth four-speed automatic gearbox, this cruiser is optimised for relaxed, stylish classic motoring.

The cabin layout is quintessential vintage Mercedes-Benz, highly functional, immensely comfortable and built to withstand the test of time using top-tier materials.
