The Plus
Developed during the Bruno Sacco era, the W124 proved to be a great success for Mercedes-Benz, spawning the E Class series that remains a mainstay of the range to this day. As with most Mercedes platforms, a two-door Coupé variant was offered, and here we find such an example, a rare 1993 C124 320 CE.
The vendor was very fond of this car, maintaining it regularly and doing a lot of work to keep it in pristine condition. More importantly, it has been used, almost daily judging by all the reports, and this has been beneficial in keeping the car in tip-top shape. Pampered examples like this are pretty rare, so don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity.
