The Appeal

Mercedes built cars to last. Because they last, they provide a level of reassurance for the driver and command a healthy price if they’ve been looked after. Add to that the sleek and timeless design, which is particularly true of the W124 series, and you have a recipe for success. Whether it be a daily driver or something to tuck away for a few years and roll out in the long summer days, they offer something for everyone.

Here is one such fine example, previously owned by a particularly fussy enthusiast that insisted on Mercedes parts when replacing anything. Although there is very little paperwork with the car, it will be having a full service before sale.

The Summary

This could be a ripe time to grab a bargain before these cars really start to appreciate, just like their cousins, the R107 model proved to do. At inspection, the car drove impeccably, and the gutsy 3.2 engine sounded fantastic providing an altogether super-smooth ride.

Sure, it would benefit from a thorough clean inside, but once done, this pillarless coupe is sure to put a smile on the face of its next lucky owner.
