The Appeal

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class W210 represented a significant design change for the marque when it was launched in 1995, with its distinctive four-headlamp front end becoming an immediate identifier, leading to a smooth, subtly curved body that suggested the future of the marque.

The E320 Avantgarde variant offered the perfect balance of performance and luxury, featuring high-end equipment and numerous options, powered by the smooth and reliable M104 straight-six engine producing 220 hp. This particular 1996 example stands out for its remarkable one-off ownership history and low documented mileage. Purchased new from a film rental company, it has been meticulously maintained throughout its life. Finished in a sophisticated green-black metallic (189U) with black leather interior (201A), this vehicle comes with a full specification, including desirable Multi-Contour seats and an electric glass sunroof.
