The W124 series of E-Class Mercedes are always in demand as these cars have a reputation for quality engineering and build quality second to none, with regularly maintained and serviced cars well able to seemingly carry on forever.
They are also a very useable and stylish classic car and are thought by many to be one of Mercedes’ finest series of cars.
The first owner was the Mercedes Benz Dealership where it was registered for one week. The second owner had the car for its first four years, having it regularly serviced and maintained by the original supplying Mercedes dealership.
The second owner had the car for the next 22 years, keeping it garaged and regularly serviced and maintained with his local Mercedes Dealer and in later years by an Independent Mercedes Specialist.
In recent years the MOT has picked up a few advisory issues relating to some normal and minor corrosion issues on the rear arches and the rear suspension mounts. These have now all been fully addressed by cutting out the rust where necessary, leaving this car a stunning example.
The car is now being sold as part of an Estate, and thus the third owner recorded was simply a name change to a close relative to facilitate the sale.
The V5c is present showing 4 previous owners and there are all the MOTs and a full file of receipts for servicing and maintenance including a fully stamped up service book with Mercedes Dealers and Specialists.
Mercedes interiors from this era tended to be simple, functional and very well put together.
This one has stood the test of time well and is a very nice and comfortable place to be. There’s plenty of room in the spacious cabin and all controls are easily reached and all gauges and dials are well displayed for the driver. The electric sunroof makes it extra special on those summer days.
All the seats look as though they have hardly ever been sat in and the carpets, headlining and door cards are all in very nice condition. There is a small crack in the wood veneer on the central console but other than that it’s a very clean and well-presented interior all round that has clearly been very well looked after, though one of the rear speaker grills is missing.
The cavernous boot is clean and dry and features the original first-aid kit, spare wheel, jack and tools, and there is an integrated dog guard that is also included. The load area also features the useful seven-seat option, where the rear dickie seat folds flat into the boot floor.i6qswQizQFzS4Io3tKCoba6pGfJYu1ql7cWUUcnK.jpeg467.37 KB
EXTERIOR
The paintwork is in very good overall condition. There are some small stone chips at the front of the car and a small patch of bubbling paint to be found just above the passenger door handle.
There is a small dent in the front central grill, some very small shopping trolley or similar dings on the passenger side but otherwise the car is in very nice overall condition.
All the lights are clear with rubber seals showing no signs of any fading or cracking except for the one on the driver’s door.
The Mercedes-Benz W124 E-Class is certainly a modern classic that is practical enough to use on a daily basis, especially with those extra 2 seats in the back.
Its well-won reputation for build quality and engineering excellence will keep these classic W124 Series cars high on the wish list of many classic and motoring enthusiasts for years to come.
This very smart Estate is in excellent original and unmolested condition both inside and out and comes with that all-important full Mercedes service record and history from new.
