APPEAL
Put simply, the Mercedes W124 series are some of the finest cars ever built. One of the last products of the money-no-object Mercedes era, when they were over-engineered and built like tanks with the aim of taking you several hundred thousand miles if you looked after them.
Fast forward a few decades and the design, especially of the coupes such as this 220 CE we have here, is proving to be timeless, especially as far as the exterior is concerned, and well looked after ones are highly desirable.
The one we have here is no exception. Finished in Nautical Blue and with a great looking leather interior, its just had a full service and drives beautifully.

SUMMARY
A fantastic car that still drives beautifully and remains a real eye catcher. Effortlessly stylish and with its 4-cylinder 2.2 engine, isn’t as thirsty as many of the other models so won’t harm your pockets either.
As you ponder the question why they don’t make cars like this anymore, fear not, they were built to last, and here’s one you could be driving away in very soon.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
