The Appeal

The W124 is still widely regarded as one of the most elegant and well-engineered luxury coupes of the 1990s. It's certainly a handsome car, with gently modernised bodywork that still felt luxurious and stately. With its pillarless design, timeless styling, and renowned build quality, these models represent the pinnacle of Mercedes' engineering excellence during this era.

This particular 320CE is especially appealing as it has remained within the same family since new, having been purchased by the current owner's father 1995. The vehicle has been maintained with annual servicing by a current Mercedes-Benz engineer, and the vendor reports that it really shows. This is a truly fine example of an increasingly desirable car.
