Exterior

Presenting immaculately in its original White over Blue colour scheme, this particular 280CE is without doubt the finest W114 we’ve seen. The paintwork is very sharp indeed with no bubbling, damage, or signs of poor repair. Any cosmetic work that has been carried out on the car over the years has clearly been done to a very high standard because the finish is excellent throughout. All the lights, glass, and chrome elements are first-rate all round, and we’re pleased to report that none of the rubber trims or seals are perished. Better still, following inspection by our trusted classic car workshop the technicians were most impressed by the excellent condition of the underside. All in all, a stunning and very usable pillarless coupé, ready to be shown.

Interior

As with the exterior of the car everything inside still feels really fresh. The seats retain their original MB Tex upholstery and aside from one small mark on the driver’s side the condition is near flawless. Glancing across the dash we have been unable to find any significant marks or signs of overuse to the switchgear, and the dash top is without any discolouration from overexposure to the sun. The original oversized steering wheel looks fantastic and certainly adds to the sense of occasion when out on the open road; looking closely there are no cracks to the rim and the centre pad is excellent. In the footwells the carpets are spotless and still present with a deep unfaded hue that complements the seats perfectly. 

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION

The 2.8-litre twin cam straight six is as smooth as ever, firing up first turn of the key and idling up to temperature without fuss. Boasting in excess of 180hp from the factory she reaches cruising speed with ease while the auto box selects with near-seamless changes. We have all had the pleasure of driving this one and agree that it’s a wonderful machine to operate. She has clearly been cherished, which is evident not only from the accompanying paperwork but also from the fine original condition of the engine bay. In very recent years the car has been treated to a full mechanical shakedown and service at Mercedes-Benz Brooklands, the invoices for this work totalling in excess of £7,800.

History File

This stunning 280CE was first registered in September 1973. It was supplied new by B & K Thomas Ltd. Mercedes-Benz in Nottingham who looked after the car right up until 1996. After nearly 23 years with its first owner it was sold to its second keeper, with whom it remained for another 21 years. In the hands of only two additional owners the car has now driven just 85k miles from new.

The accompanying History File comprises the original Mercedes-Benz document wallet and handbooks, the original maintenance booklet with 15 stamps, a raft of invoices and MOT certificates dating back to the early eighties, a spare set of keys, and the current V5C showing only 3 former keepers.

For the new owner's peace of mind a full vehicle health check has just been completed and the workshop were very pleased with it – especially the underside. Other recent work includes a full service and mechanical shakedown including new air hoses, all-new ignition cables, a new cold start valve, exhaust centre section, new front seat belts, new front and rear springs, and new anti-roll bar drop links – all carried out by Mercedes-Benz Brooklands and costing over £7,800 across two invoices.

1973 Mercedes-Benz 280 w114 280CE is listed till salu on ClassicDigest in Hampshire by 4Star Classics for £24995.
