Purchased new in 1997 from Mercedes-Benz main dealer, Pentagon this elegant cabriolet still wears its original dealer plates and window sticker. It is obvious from its condition that the car has had a pampered life, always garaged and a vast stack of invoices backs up this assertion
The V5 is present showing only 2 previous owners and there are numerous MOTs from the present and previous keepers, including a fully stamped up service book with Mercedes Dealers and specialists. Invoices dating back to 1998 back up this vast history file and provide peace of mind. The car comes with 2 remote keys, first aid kit, toolkit, warning triangle and all the original Owner’s set of handbooks, inc the radio code card and booklet.
The high quality Mushroom beige leather interior still looks in great original condition and the thick and supple leather used on the seats gives the interior an air of opulence few cars can match.
The draft deflector originally supplied with the car is included and the door cards, dashboard and instruments are all in very good shape and work perfectly as do all the switchgear. The original Mercedes-Benz Audio 10 is still there and working as is the electric aerial. The wood veneer, the headlining and all the carpets and original over-mats are all clean and without damage and the door kick plates remain nice and scratch free.
The Tourmaline Metallic paintwork (code 269) is still in excellent condition obviously benefiting from being garaged throughout its life. Hardly any scratches or scuffs could be seen on this car which is a credit to its former keepers. The original and correct eight-hole light alloy wheels, last re-furbished and diamond cut a little while ago still look in great shape and all wear good tyres.
The body looks straight and true with shut lines and trim all being as they should be.
The original black hood fits snugly and there is no sign of any water ingress anywhere. The electric hood mechanism works smoothly and all the lights are clear with rubber seals showing no signs of any fading or cracking anywhere. Waxoyled from new and re-treated over the years, the underneath of the car looks very solid too.
Mechanically this car has been very well cared for throughout its life, which is borne out by the way this car currently looks and drives. One look under the bonnet will help reassure the next owner of how this car has been looked after. It’s nice and clean with no signs of any oil or fluid leaks and everything looks as it should..
The Mercedes-Benz W124 E-Class coupé and cabriolet, set a very high bar for the luxury automotive market, with the series continuing to be highly sought after by classic and motoring enthusiasts alike, mainly down to its well won reputation for its build quality and engineering excellence. This full size 4-seater convertible is in a fantastic colour combination and is in excellent original and unmolested condition both inside and out…and it comes with that all-important full-service record and history from new.
A modern classic that is practical enough to use on a daily basis, this is most certainly a car that will continue to appreciate in the years to come
