Highlights

Desirable Sportline specification with uprated suspension
Just two former registered keepers
In current ownership for over 12 years
Maintained by an independent Mercedes specialist throughout
Always dry stored when not in use

The Appeal

The Sportline Cabriolet sits at the very top of the much-loved W124 range. Combining the refined 3.2-litre straight-six with the Sportline package's lowered, stiffened suspension, it offered a more sporting character than the standard cabriolet whilst retaining the build quality that only Mercedes-Benz could boast. Late-generation examples such as this, with the five-speed automatic gearbox, are increasingly sought after.

This particular car was previously registered in Oxford before passing to its current owner in Ireland in 2014. It has been lightly used since, and really is quite the looker. Perfect for those seeking an eminently drivable modern classic!
