Description

Mercedes-Benz C123 280CE Coupe (RHD)

The Holy Grail of Pillarless Coupes: 2 Owners, Ultra-Low Documented Mileage & Flawless Blue Velour

Opportunities like this come around once in a decade. Up for sale is an investment-grade, Right-Hand Drive Mercedes-Benz 280CE (C123). This vehicle is in breathtaking, highly original condition. Kept by just two meticulous owners from new, it features a fully documented, ultra-low mileage history that preserves it as a true time capsule.

Finding a factory RHD pillarless coupe is rare enough, but finding one specified to the absolute limit with a flawless, unmarked blue velour interior is genuinely "rare as hen’s teeth." In the late 1970s and 1980s, high-end Mercedes velour was a costier, more exclusive option than leather, and this interior looks and feels like it just rolled off the showroom floor.
