THE APPEAL

There’s something uniquely attractive about classic Mercedes-Benz, vintage luxury, classy styling and robust engines are all reasons that make them sought-after vehicles, they’re unavoidable charmers that look better and better as the years roll by, especially those that have been kept in good order and this W124 E220 Cabriolet is the perfect example of that.

Parked under the autumnal sunshine, this 80s-styled E220 looks fantastic, the orange sky really compliments its open-top design and green metallic finish, making you want to jump behind the wheel and cruise through the crisp air to the nearest pub. It's also been kept in good condition, with only a few blemishes.

It comes with a folder of invoices for past maintenance work, evidence of its comprehensively cared-for life.

Roof down is undoubtedly where the appeal lies, however, thanks to its electronic folding soft-top, you can head out in the sun and when the unavoidable British weather comes around, a press of a button will keep you out of the elements, a fabulous, luxurious car that can be used all year-round.
