Can anyone tell me what the deal is with the 280ce engine on carbs? I've read that they're down on power compared with the injected engines. Do they still pull well? Is there a difference with economy and reliability? And are they any less sought after and valuable than a later injected 280ce...

As title suggests, I'm after a 280ce. I'm not able to spend big money for an absolute minter but am just after something that hasn't been welded that I can improve on. I'm after one that has electric windows, power steering and on injection rather than carbs. I'd prefer one without the sunroof...

Hi, I'm off to look at a W123 280ce on a W plate today. The car is advertised as top notch. I'll be deciding that for myself but was wondering apart from going over the usual places, where I should be looking in particular on these cars for rust and anything else I should be looking for? Thanks...

My dad purchased a W123 280CE back in 1982 from Isaac Agnews in Belfast. The registration number was AXI 150. He kept the car for around 5 years and then sold it on along with the registration number. A friend uncovered some old pictures and it's got me thinking if it still exists? Maybe the...
