The Appeal

The hugely successful W202 C-Class saw Mercedes-Benz through the mid ‘90s and is now having a bit of a renaissance, with car enthusiasts appreciating its three box styling once again.

This particular example looks to be in good overall condition, finished in the smart shade of Midnight Blue and features a Mushroom leather interior. ‘90s touches abound, such as the ruched leather door cards and walnut dashboard trim pieces.

The car comes with a year’s MOT and its original Mercedes-Benz owners documents. It is powered by a capable 2.8-litre straight-six petrol engine and delivers power via an automatic transmission, allowing for effortless cruising.
