The seller offers for sale this 1991 Mercedes-Benz 230 CE, powered by a 2.3-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, paired with an automatic transmission. This W124 coupe comes from an enthusiast owner who always cared for the car, and it shows 162000 km on the odometer, with a major service carried out at 161000 km. The engine starts readily, the car has passed its TÜV inspection every year, and it has been stored in a heated garage since December 2024. The interior is a highlight of this example: after more than 30 years it still presents beautifully, with an unusually crisp dashboard, fine seats and rear bench, and an attractive colour combination throughout. The paint is in good original condition and was recently polished by a certified car detailer, with only a very small trace of use to be found. The car rides on four Michelin tyres mounted on its good original alloy wheels, the engine bay and boot present neatly, and the chassis shows well in the photos. The documentation is extensive: even the original purchase invoice from 1991 is present, showing that the car cost over 70,000 DM with all its options, and it is accompanied by two keys, thousands of euros in invoices and a valid inspection.
The W124 coupe, introduced in 1987, represents Mercedes-Benz engineering at its zenith. Built in the era when the company’s engineers famously worked to a standard rather than a price, the C124 coupe combined the legendary durability of the W124 saloon with an elegant pillarless silhouette, unique rear architecture and a more exclusive character. The 230 CE, with its proven 2.3-litre M102 four-cylinder engine, offers smooth, unstressed performance and the tank-like build quality that has made the W124 one of the most respected Mercedes-Benz models ever built.
These pillarless coupes are steadily climbing in collector esteem, and the cars to have are original, well-documented examples with a known history. With its original purchase invoice, comprehensive service records and remarkably well-preserved interior, this 230 CE is exactly the kind of car enthusiasts seek out: from one enthusiast to the next, as the seller aptly puts it.
