Mercedes-Benz 230 CE '88

• Mercedes-Benz 230 CE with automatic transmission

• Original Impala Metallic colour
  
• Older original condition with an authentic appearance
  
• Belgian registration documents
  
• Classic Mercedes-Benz coupé from the 1980s
  
  

The Mercedes-Benz 230 CE combines the typical durability and comfortable driving characteristics of Mercedes-Benz from the 1980s with the elegant appearance of a classic coupé. The 2.3-litre petrol engine, combined with the automatic transmission, makes this 230 CE particularly well suited for relaxed touring and comfortable driving.




This example was first registered on 23 March 1988 and is finished in Impala Metallic. The car is in an older original condition and, according to the inspection report, presents well. The interior is attractive and original, with normal signs of use and carpets in very good condition. The underside is in original, good and honest condition. As is common with an original classic car of this age, some technical improvements are to be expected, all of which are clearly listed in the accompanying inspection report. The car is supplied with Belgian registration documents and a Belgian Car-Pass.




Xavier's quote:




"The 230 CE is one of those typical Mercedes models that effortlessly combines quality and elegance. For anyone who wants to travel back to the 1980s in a true time capsule, this is a particularly interesting opportunity. While coupé versions were often richly equipped, this example has remained wonderfully simple: cloth seats, wheel covers and almost everything still untouched. Ideal for originality enthusiasts who want to preserve it as it is, or as the perfect basis for a fun project."




Our Oldtimerfarm inspection team has prepared an inspection report for this vehicle.
