Mercedes-Benz' much-loved 280E, so called for its 2.8-litre inline-six, offered a compelling blend of smooth performance and long-distance comfort that cemented the W124's reputation as one of the most well-regarded saloons of its era. These cars munched up the miles with quiet confidence, and became one of the best-regarded executive cars of the '90s - deservedly so.
This 1994 example has been in the current keeper's hands since September 2004 and remains unmodified, having covered 97,867 miles across just four registered keepers. The vendor reports that the car drives very smoothly, though it does require a new exhaust system - the cause of its most recent MOT failure - and a replacement battery following a period of SORN storage. With these items attended to, this well-kept, long-term-ownership 280E could be back on the road with relative ease.image.png1.78 MB
