This catalogue entry records a 1982 Mercedes-Benz 230 230E in gold and brown from the 1980s.

The 1982 Mercedes-Benz 230 230E in gold and brown is filed under Classic, within the 1980s picture cars.

1980s on screen

Number plates should be checked against the story year, particularly when the shot holds on a rear view during a departure or a parked conversation. Researching the age mix of eighties traffic can make a parked street feel lived-in, rather than a display organised around the date of the script. Eighties cars can sit comfortably in scenes of school runs and office arrivals, where daily routines give the period detail a purpose beyond visual nostalgia.

Possible roles in a production

Wide exteriors require attention to the whole traffic mix, since a carefully chosen foreground classic cannot hide an unsuitable car passing in the distance. Repeated arrivals work best when the performers have rehearsed their bags and coats, rather than discovering how to manage them during the take. An older car waiting by a station can make a pickup legible through luggage and greetings, keeping the scene focused on the meeting itself.

Questions about this car

Can I hire this 1982 Mercedes-Benz 230 in gold and brown for filming?

We need the dates, filming location and intended use before confirming an option for this Mercedes-Benz 230; browsing the entry alone does not reserve a vehicle.

Is the photo of this exact car?

No individual vehicle is promised by the Mercedes-Benz 230 photograph; we separately confirm the identity and colour of the actual car when we send the shoot options.

What if this Mercedes-Benz 230 isn't available?

For a substitute, consider the 379 cars from the 1980s collection or the 140 Mercedes-Benz vehicles selection alongside the 8 Mercedes-Benz 230s; the scene guides which options we discuss.

Can it be driven on camera?

Whether the Mercedes-Benz 230 can be driven in the scene is a separate question from availability, requiring the owner's agreement, insurance checks and confirmed transport and driver arrangements.
