BACKGROUND
The W124 series of E-Class Mercedes are always in demand as these cars have a reputation for quality engineering and build quality second to none, with regularly maintained and serviced cars well able to seemingly carry on forever.
They are also a very useable and stylish classic car and are thought by many to be one of Mercedes’ finest series of cars.
If you’re looking for a nice original and well cared for example of this legendary Mercedes with a full-service history then get ready to bid.
HISTORY
The first owner was the Mercedes Benz Dealership where it was registered for one week. The second owner had the car for its first four years, having it regularly serviced and maintained by the original supplying Mercedes dealership.
The third owner had the car for the next 22 years, keeping it garaged and regularly serviced and maintained with his local Mercedes Dealer and in later years by an Independent Mercedes Specialist.
Its current owner acquired the car earlier this year as part of his collection, however a change in circumstances has meant he has to reduce his collection, but he has just had it MOT'd for the new owner to enjoy the car from the off.

In recent years the MOT has picked up a few advisory issues which were addressed at the time.
The car has just had a new MOT and passed with just 2 advisories for ball joint dust covers.
PAPERWORK
The current MOT expires in October 2023.
The V5c is present showing 4 previous owners and there are all the MOTs and a full file of receipts for servicing and maintenance including a fully stamped up service book with Mercedes Dealers and Specialists.
The car comes with 4 keys, 2 Alarm fobs, first aid kit, toolkit, warning triangle and all the original Owner’s set of handbooks and manuals.
INTERIOR
Mercedes interiors from this era tended to be simple, functional and very well put together.
This one has stood the test of time well and is a very nice and comfortable place to be. There’s plenty of room in the spacious cabin and all controls are easily reached and all gauges and dials are well displayed for the driver. The electric sunroof makes it extra special on those summer days.
All the seats look as though they have hardly ever been sat in and the carpets, headlining and door cards are all in very nice condition. There is a small crack in the wood veneer on the central console but other than that it’s a very clean and well-presented interior all round that has clearly been very well looked after, though one of the rear speaker grills is missing.
The cavernous boot is clean and dry and features the original first-aid kit, spare wheel, jack and tools, and there is an integrated dog guard that is also included. The load area also features the useful seven-seat option, where the rear dickie seat folds flat into the boot floor.
EXTERIOR
The paintwork is in very good overall condition. There are some small stone chips at the front of the car and a small patch of bubbling paint to be found just above the passenger door handle.
There is a small dent in the front central grill, some very small shopping trolley or similar dings on the passenger side but otherwise the car is in very nice overall condition.
All the lights are clear with rubber seals showing no signs of any fading or cracking except for the one on the driver’s door.
The original alloy wheels have recently been refurbished and fitted with brand new Michelin tyres.
MECHANICS
Mechanically this car has been very well cared for throughout its life, which is reflected in the way it currently looks and drives.
It starts on the first turn off the key and drives superbly with no obvious or known issues to be advised of.
It has also recently had a thorough and full service.
THE APPEAL
The Mercedes-Benz W124 E-Class is certainly a modern classic that is practical enough to use on a daily basis, especially with those extra 2 seats in the back.
Its well-won reputation for build quality and engineering excellence will keep these classic W124 Series cars high on the wish list of many classic and motoring enthusiasts for years to come.
This very smart Estate is in excellent original and unmolested condition both inside and out and comes with that all-important full Mercedes service record and history from new.
