Summary
Handsome and durable and available in a huge range of specifications the W124 was popular with taxi drivers and captains of industry across the world.
This very low mileage E200 was nicely specified and optioned by its first owner and shows just why these cars have endured. Perfect for use as a daily driver or, with a little bit of fettling, as a classic show stopper, it is a rare opportunity to buy a solid W124 with very low mileage. The W124 was a Mercedes-Benz masterclass. Crisply designed by Bruno Sacco and engineered to perfection, it cleverly played to the sober-suited, high quality aesthetic beloved of the firm’s traditional buyers whilst neatly bringing the firm right up to date.
There were a huge array of engines and trim options. A mid-period revamp involving ‘Sacco plank’ side cladding that cleverly updated the handsome design.
The very reliable W124 is known for eating miles so it is unusual to discover a car like this with less than 60, 000 miles covered in 29 years. Smartly presented in dark blue metallic over cream it has clearly been cared for. Perfect as a distinctive daily driver or the basis for a shiny weekend classic, this is the practical classic you can buy with your head and your heart.
