The 1991 Mercedes 230 CE is a 90s pillarless coupe with style. It was introduced in 1987 and ran until 1992 which huge popularity.
It looks great and with Mercedes build quality at the time could be relied upon to out live nearly everything else on the road. Available in manual or auto with a number of engine options it was a great choice for the mature professional looking to arrive a meeting in style.
The interior is finished in light grey leather and is in fantastic condition, the rear seats don’t seem to have been sat in much at all however there are a few marks.
All of the wood trim inside the vehicle is in great condition and the drivers seat bolster does have a small amount of discolouration but is not ripped or teared.
Inside it smells like a Mercedes should and the build quality just shines through.
The exterior is very clean for its age, the front wings on these models often suffer with corrosion issues at the bottom however this vehicle has had the front wings replaced and so this is not an issue here.
There is one small area around the aerial (pictured) which may need attention in the future but other than this the car is very tidy.
The alloys are in decent shape and the car also comes with a set of steels and hubcaps should the new owner want them.
The car starts stops and sounds great. The 4 speed automatic smoothly delivers the grunt from the 2.3 litre four cylinder engine with no fuss and there are no weird noises.
Driving this car is a very quiet, smooth, refined experience just as Mercedes intended.
Despite being 30 years old this Mercedes has lost none of its character. It is classy, it is refined and whilst it may not be the massive engined fast version of the range it is more than capable of wafting along and soothing your brow after a hard day.
Impeccably comfortable, these 230 Coupes are creeping up in the collectible stakes and are sure to be one to watch for the future.
A class act in very tidy condition that even Mercedes themselves find hard to follow with their models of today.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
