I am selling my 1981 280E. This is the W123 chassis that is known for its legendary build quality and durability, ut instead of the common diesel engine, his comes with a smooth double overhead cam inline 6 gasoline engine (M110). Completely original car, ept in exceptional condition, lways garaged. This is the year where it came with the rare pressed aluminum wheels, hat weights about 11 pounds each. I had thempowder-coatedsilver and drive them without the hubcaps, ut the original hubcaps shown in the pictures are included as well.100% original paint that is shiny and beautiful, o rust. Dash is nice and has no cracks. I added a photo with the car key, howing a small chip on the rear trunk lid.The car has only covered 85k miles since new. Engine runs flawlessly, ransmission shifts as it should. There is a slight whine in the rear differential upon deceleration, therwise it is smooth and quiet. Engine has a slight oil leak at the one of the cam tower gasket. My specialist mechanic said this is common for the M110 engines and changing the gasket may not guarantee fixing the leak. Since its a minor leak and does not effect performance or safety, left it alone.Original Becker radio and cassette works fine, C blows ice cold, new Goodyear tires with less than 4,000 miles on them, unroof works fine, osch battery less than a year old. The car is ready to drive and enjoy.
