Mercedes-Benz introduced the W123 four-door version in January 1976 and, while there were some technical similarities to its predecessor, the new model was larger in wheelbase and exterior dimensions. The styling was also updated, although stylistic links with the W115 were maintained. In September 1982, all models received a mild facelift which included the rectangular headlights, previously only fitted to the 280/280E which were standardised across the board as was power steering. Since February 1982, an optional five-speed manual transmission was available in all models. Optional extras included MB-Tex, velour or leather upholstery, interior wood trim, passenger side exterior mirror, five-speed manual or four-speed automatic gearbox, electric windows, central locking, sunroof, air conditioning, climate control, Alpine horn, headlamp wipers, cruise control, power steering and heated seats.

First registered on 1st January 1986, the example on offer here is an ever-popular Mercedes-Benz 280 TE Estate. With a cult-like following, and for good reason, these robust workhorses combined reliability with comfort and space. The car presents well in its Signal Red paintwork and is supplied with both a desirable manual sunroof along with an excellent history file that includes a stamped service book with an impressive 22 stamps, showing the car's impressive maintenance history. Supplied with its V5C registration document along with original booklet pack, original sales brochure and file full of MoT test certificates and invoices. Ever popular, these fantastic estates are excellent and practical classics. Consigned by Will Penrose
