The 1978 Mercedes-Benz 280C is a beautiful representative of the W123 generation, a model that symbolizes the reliability and timeless elegance Mercedes-Benz is known for. Introduced in 1976, the W123 series quickly became one of Mercedes' most popular models and earned a reputation as one of the most durable and solid vehicles ever produced. The coupe version, like this 280C, adds a touch of exclusivity and sportiness to the familiar comfort of the W123 series, with its streamlined roofline and elegant proportions. This example, newly delivered to the Netherlands and from a private collection, has retained its original charm all these years and is in drivable condition. The car offers the refined driving experience you would expect from a 1970s Mercedes: a combination of smoothness, comfort and ample power delivered by the six-in-line engine. The 280C is powered by a 2.8-liter carbureted engine, known for its reliability and ability to cover long distances with ease. The smooth-shifting automatic transmission completes the driving experience and ensures that every drive is an enjoyable occasion. The W123 coupe has always been a beloved model because of its elegant lines and distinctive C-pillar that gives the car a distinctive character. The interior of this 280C exudes timeless class, with high-quality materials that are still comfortable and stylish even after decades. The coupe version also offered something special: it was a car for those who wanted something more than just practical transportation it was a car for those who valued style and appearance, without sacrificing comfort or quality. The fact that this Mercedes 280C is exempt from road tax makes owning this classic even more attractive. It is a car that not only retains its historical value, but also can still be used for drives that revive Mercedes-Benz's rich past. For classic car enthusiasts who appreciate the combination of durability, elegance and comfort, this 1978 Mercedes-Benz 280C offers an excellent opportunity to own and experience a piece of German automotive history. A car designed to survive generations, still offering its owner the same refinement and class as the day it left the factory.
