Description
Mercedes-Benz 280CE - Registration PMC 19L
A distinguished example of Mercedes-Benz's classic engineering, this Mercedes-Benz 280CE represents an exceptional opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Originally discovered as a genuine barn find, this vehicle has since undergone a careful programme of restoration and recommissioning, returning it to the road while preserving its authenticity and character. Restored barn find with scope for enhancement. This beauty has been in France for many years and has now been brought home and re-registered in the UK, retaining its original, very desirable, 6 digit number plate.
2.8-litre straight-six engine delivering refined performance
Interior recommissioned and upgraded with a modern stereo system, subwoofer, and amplifier, seamlessly blending classic style with contemporary convenience. New carpets, new centre console, new leads, new and more powerful starter motor, new sub-frame mounts, fuel tank re-lined etc etc etc.
While the car presents well, there remains scope for additional value to be added through further restoration. In particular, the paintwork would benefit from attention, offering the next custodian the opportunity to elevate the car's finish to show-standard condition.
PMC 19L offers a rare combination of provenance, charm, and potential. This elegant coupe provides an excellent platform for continued refinement, whether to be enjoyed as a stylish driver's car or elevated further into a concours-worthy example.
