Rare Bornite (Blackberry) Metallic finish with professional respray in 2019

Nearly £4,000 spent recently on a comprehensive mechanical overhaul
MOT valid until April 2026 with no advisories
Comprehensive service and maintenance records from 2021 onwards
The Appeal
The W124 coupé represents Mercedes-Benz at its engineering zenith - the pillarless design, robust M103 engine, and over-engineered construction have made these cars modern classics. This 300 CE is finished in the rare and highly sought-after Bornite Metallic, a chameleon colour that shifts from deep plum to vibrant metallic bronze-purple depending on the light.
Our car has been comprehensively sorted by enthusiast owners. Following a professional respray in 2019, the current custodian has invested nearly £4,000 in recent mechanical work, including a complete front-suspension overhaul, a rear-differential reseal, a transmission service, and cooling-system renewals. With over £6,000 documented since 2021, this is a turn-key example that has served as a reliable daily driver, including long-distance European tours. The 114,000-mile reading is fully verified by consistent MOT history, and with fresh tyres, a valid MOT until April 2026, and comprehensive service records, this 300 CE is reportedly ready for immediate enjoyment.image.png1.12 MB
