One of the best-reputed Sedans of its era, the W201 had it all. These cars offered comfortable interiors in a roomy, intensely safety-oriented car that was over-engineered to perfection. These cars have become perhaps one of the most practical classics you can own - they're impressively versatile and, of course, carry that familiar executive styling you'd expect from this period of Mercedes-Benz.
This particular car is a handsome 1992 example, with an impressively low mileage and highly original condition. It's been within the same family for some thirty years, throughout which it's clearly been very well looked after. That blue-on-blue livery is a very handsome bit of spec, and suits the car's signature lines down to the ground.
Supplied with a valid MOT until February 2025, this fine retro classic is ready and waiting to be taken on the road with its lucky new owner.
