HIGHLIGHTS

- Huge boot
- First registered in Jersey
- Terrific condition inside and out
THE APPEAL
The W124 is widely acknowledged as one of the last “proper” Mercedes-Benzes, built in a tradition of build quality over anything else.
The Estate versions – officially known as the S124 - are legendary, offering a great combination of practicality and understatement, as well as exceptional comfort.
They’re a very satisfying ownership proposition, being perhaps the most highly regarded variant of the most widely admired car Mercedes-Benz ever made, lauded for its bulletproof build quality and timeless design.
This one is a remarkable car. Unlike many S124s, which by definition live a hard life, it spent the first part of its life in Jersey and has since been kept on the UK mainland as a cherished car, rather than used heavily. It has covered 106,000 careful miles and is presented in gorgeous condition inside and out.
The best engine, the best specification and seven seats – what more could you want from a family classic?
