The Appeal
As the third generation of E-Class vehicles, the 211 was a remarkably refined, distinguished car. Comfortable, solidly built and undeniably refined, these were available in three trims - Classic, Elegance, and its most luxurious - Avantgarde. They were an immediate hit, and continue to be prized just as a Mercedes-Benz Estate should be.
This particular example boasts the Avantgarde trim, with plentiful wood trims and sumptuous black leather inside the cabin. Imported from grit-free Japan, this impressive Estate car features AMG 18" wheels, electric memory seats and a powerful Hi-Fi speaker system, all of which come together to make a superb, highly capable modern classic.
