Mercedes-Benz's internal designation for its compact saloon from 1993-2000, was W202. As the first generation of the C-Class, replacing the 190 series/ W201 in June 1993, the C-Class sedan was Mercedes' entry-level model until 1997, when the company launched the A-Class. Production reached 1, 847, 382 over model years 1994–2000. The C240's displacement was enlarged from 2. 4L to 2. 6L in the last four years of production, but output remained at 168hp. Four distinctive trim levels were offered, Classic, Elegance, Esprit and Sport. The Sport featured lowered and uprated suspension, alloy wheels, sport seats, a carbon effect dash, leather rimmed steering wheel and a sunroof, being aimed at the more sporting driver.
Manufactured in 1999, the C240 Sport offered was supplied new to the United Kingdom, being registered on the 30th June that year. Specified from new with the air conditioning, outside temperature sensor, electric windows all round, speakers front and rear, outside temperature indicator, front folding armrest and the Sports package, the Mercedes is finished in the rare and desirable Vivianite Green with Black cloth interior upholstery. Entering into current registered ownership in January 2002 (although equating to two registered keepers due to the transfer from business to private keeper), the C240 is offered now having covered a modest c. 72, 000 miles. Starting readily and running and driving well during our recent photography session, the Sport is accompanied by a history file including a 'no advisory' MOT until October 2025.
