The Appeal
Everything about the W124 generation was beautifully tactile. Heavy-duty workhorses, with renowned build quality and top-notch reliability - not to mention a fabulous executive-level interior. This was one of the last bastions of what made a 'true Mercedes' in the traditional sense, before the company's sensibilities changed for the approaching 21st century.
This fine '93 example, finished in attractive Beryl Blue (code 888), has been cherished by its current owner since 2015 and has covered less than 40,000 miles in that time, while being kept comfortably in a garage throughout said tenure. Thanks to its impressive history file and hefty recent investments, we'd say this is a particularly sound car, that's clearly been very well looked after.
Refined, comfortable and beautifully balanced - this is a great 90s classic that's well worthy of your attention.image.png1.83 MB
