The Appeal
As part of the first generation of E-Class vehicles, the W124 is easily one of the more recognizable German classics. The platform is widely renowned for its technological advances, luxury comforts, reliability, and smooth driving experience.
With Saloon variants being the more common option, the E 220 is certainly quite a rare vehicle, as one of the few cabriolet models from its generation. This particular example is a fine showcase of the model, now presenting itself in excellent condition both inside and out, with fine mechanical health. If you’re looking for a collection-worthy example of a rare W124 cabriolet, this E 220 should be your first choice.
The History and Paperwork
- Previously maintained as part of a Mercedes collection
- 6 former keepers
- Cat D
- Part main dealer service history
- Original instructions included
- Well cared for
This E 220 has no doubt been enjoyed over the years, having spent a fair amount of time as part of a previous owner’s Mercedes collection. This Benz has seen rather minimal use over the years and is now believed to be a rather low mileage example, with just 67,400 shown on the clock.
It should be noted that throughout its time with the previous keeper, it is understood that the vehicle was involved in a collision to the front wing and door. As a result, the vehicle shows a Category D status but has undergone extensive repairs to fix the damage.
It is only due to lack of space that the vehicle now awaits a new home, where it will surely bring a great deal of enjoyment to the new owner.
The Interior
- Original cream interior
- Wooden Burl trim
- Excellent condition
- Original tools included
- Sony head unit
- Folding soft top
This Mercedes shows off what is believed to be an original interior, other than the pictured Sony head unit. Despite the age of the vehicle, the interior still looks fantastic for its age, no doubt a testament to the legendary W124 build quality and care shown by owners.
Although the interior is certainly impressive, there are incredibly minor signs of age to note, such as incredibly minor signs of use on the front leather seats, discolouration/marks to the rear seat, and hairline scratches on the centre console trim. Should you opt to use the wind deflector during top-down drives, you will also notice a few small holes in the mesh. Otherwise, the cabin appears to be nearly fault-free, and could quite easily fool you of the vehicle’s age and mileage.
As the images will reflect, very few examples have been preserved quite as well as this, and the interior leaves very little to be further desired.
The Exterior
- Great condition
- Previously resprayed/repaired
- Iconic W124 styling
Very few vehicles have as iconic of a front-end as the W124. That bold grille and badge combination is perhaps one of the most iconic on the road, and perfectly suits the vehicle’s charming boxy styling. The cabriolet models are seldom seen in comparison to the saloon variants, ensuring this vehicle stands out on modern roads.
As mentioned above, the vehicle was previously involved in a collision, subsequently requiring bodywork and paint to remedy. As a result, the car’s exterior appears to be in excellent condition, showing off a fair amount of shine for its age. Looking around the vehicle, there are defects to note, including a few marks to the upper rear quarter panel near the aerial, a mark on the driver’s door, and possibly the expected minor front-end chips.
All 4 wheels do show marks and defects, but could very likely still retain their original finish given the low mileage of the car. Original finish or not, all 4 wheels also sport a very welcome set of new Pirelli Cinturato tyres, with plenty of tread for the new owner to enjoy.
The Mechanics
- 2.2L inline-four
- Automatic transmission
- Drives brilliantly
- Well maintained
Buyers will be pleased to know that this E 220 is said to live up to the legendary reputation of the W124 generation of Mercedes-Benz cars, performing exactly as intended to the day. In fact, the current owner happily reports there are no known mechanical or electrical faults to note with the vehicle.
Although hardly the most powerful in the lineup, the 2.2 inline-four has proven to be a dependable unit, that still remains capable even in comparison to modern traffic. If you’re looking for a smooth, well-maintained cabriolet to cruise in the sunshine with, this E 220 is a superb choice.
Summary
It could be argued that the W124 generation of Mercedes-Benz E-Class vehicles deserves to be experienced by enthusiasts and collectors alike. The platform is renowned for its reliability, luxury comforts and excellent build quality, and still represents great value for money for its age.
This E 220 cabriolet is of course no exception, and presents buyers with the rare opportunity to secure a well-maintained, fully working example in excellent condition both inside and out.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
