Hi, thought it nice to introduce myself; Just purchased an 83 230CE, a car I have lusted after since a young adult. Looking forward to seeing what info you guys can give me, and how I cana help too.

Cheers

A belated welcome to you from a former w123 2.3Ltd owner, I still have the sales brochures

Welcome, I help a friend with his various cars and he got a mint 1986 230CE three years ago. Out of all his cars, right up to and including a stunning 2016 Bentley Mulsanne Mulliner the CE gets more admiring comments than any other car he has. I hope you enjoy yours, pictures would be good !

Thanks to you all, a big round of questions coming I am sure, and I'll get right on the picture taking, but he's a cheeky one I took when I brought her home.

The exterior is nice, a bit of trim loose, but that's about it, but the inside needs a good look at, not bad, but not exceptional. I'm very pleased with her. Sat in traffic for 30 mins at 30 degrees outside and didn't go over halfway, accelerated smoothly to illegal speeds and back down, only issues I have is the steering is a bit "woolley", with a lot of play in it, not Land Rover scary, but needs a look at. Overall, a wonderful project to take on and I love it.

Hello and welcome

I hadn't come across these before. I didn't realise they had the pillarless B column section back then.
It's like the SECs little brother. The 500/560 SEC being one of my favourite cars
