Description
Offered for sale is a wonderfully original 1984 Mercedes-Benz W123 280 TE – a true icon of automotive craftsmanship. This flagship estate variant of the legendary W123 line is powered by the smooth and punchy 2. 8-litre M110 inline-six, paired with an automatic gearbox for effortless cruising.
The car has been in our family since 2003 and we have a history file with the car. As the car has been in constant use, it is not concours but still a very smart example.
Finished in an elegant thistle green, the exterior is complemented by a matching green cloth interior, rich wood trim, and period-correct features that ooze vintage charm. The cabin is clean, comfortable, and refreshingly analogue – from the wide seats and deep carpets to the signature Mercedes steering wheel and classic dash layout.
Factory-fitted sunroof, roof rails, and iconic mexican hubcap alloy wheels complete the look. The car is equipped with a luggage barrier, making it ideal for load-lugging or weekend getaways.
Mechanically, the 280 TE remains the most desirable W123 models – offering more power than its diesel counterparts while retaining Mercedes’ trademark reliability and build quality.
Whether you’re a collector, enthusiast, or just after a supremely usable classic estate, this car delivers with style and substance.
