The Appeal

How many times do hear people say, “they don’t make them like that anymore”? In the case of this Mercedes E220 from 1995 that comment certainly rings true. This period for Mercedes is often considered to be the best for build quality and engineering prowess and this delightful Tourmaline Green Coupe shows it in abundance. The bodywork is in very nice condition and is not displaying any obvious corrosion. Inside the opulent interior, you have the comfort of Mercedes’ customary plush leather seats and a clear very 90s dashboard display. Looking like it has been well looked after throughout its life, this car has oodles of comfortable executive motoring still ahead for a new owner.

Summary

What a delightful example of possibly the best-looking 90s E Class. The Coupe gives a much sleeker line than its boxier cousins. This era of Mercedes has a super strong feel to them and certainly conveys a long-lasting feel to them. Comfortable and quiet that could put many a modern equivalent to shame. This one is in a subtle green hue that is not seen that often and it looks well sat on its freshly refurbished rims. Certainly, a car that has been looked after and waiting to continue sterling service for the next owner. You know they don’t make them like this anymore!
