The Appeal

Mercedes-Benz mastered the language of top-notch build quality, elegant design and effortless cruising decades ago, and the W210 is a perfect car to prove those ethos and capture them to a tee. These cars are a remarkable bit of kit; the sort of car that ticks all of the boxes.

This fabulous E240 Estate offers top-notch practicality at its best. Plenty of luggage space, an unusually low odometer reading and over a decade of family ownership have made for a highly desirable example. Perfect for long-distance cruising with the family, and accompanied by a valid MOT until September, this eminently drivable car is the definition of a modern classic.
