The Mercedes-Benz W124 is ever-desirable and this late-model E220 Coupe is enticingly offered at No Reserve. Notably, it has had just four previous keepers, well below the average for cars of this age. Finished in blue with a grey leather interior, this example has the later facelift rear lights with smoked grey indicators, giving it a more modern look. It is also badged ‘E220’ rather than ‘220E’ as, by now, the W124 was known as the E-Class. Inside, it has extensive dark wood veneer, and a modern uprated Pioneer sound system that includes a remote control. The vendor descries the 2. 2-litre four-cylinder engine, four-speed automatic transmission, electrics and interior as all being in ‘good’ condition. The car is also fitted with a desirable set of ACE 18-inch alloy wheels, which alone are worth around £500. The vendor says the tyres have around 80% tread remaining.
‘N304BRR’, which was registered in January 1996 and features an original Lancaster Mercedes-Benz sticker in the rear window, has more than 10 years of service history as part of a big service folder containing lots of paperwork. The vendor adds that it will come freshly-serviced. The car runs and drives faultlessly, they say with no warning lights, while the electric sunroof is confirmed as working. ‘N304BRR’ will come with three keys, is HPI-clear, and the new owner will enjoy lower premiums thanks to this elegant pillarless coupe now qualifying for classic car insurance status. The MOT is valid until well into April 2025.
The W124 Mercedes-Benz was introduced in 1984. A meticulously-engineered car in the traditional Mercedes-Benz way, development started way back in 1977, with contemporary technology including advanced multi-link rear suspension and an ingenious ‘jumping’ single-arm windscreen wiper. It was offered in four bodystyles – saloon, estate, coupe and convertible, with a range of four-cylinder, six-cylinder and later V8 engines. A streamlined design, the W124 had one of the lowest-ever drag coefficients of 0. 28, and safety was also of the highest order.
