Highlights

• Comprehensive history file including previous V5s, MOT certificates, tax discs, service records, maintenance receipts and the original purchase invoice and order paperwork

The Appeal

The 124-series Mercedes-Benz has earned an enviable reputation for its understated design, robust engineering and reassuringly substantial build quality. The Cabriolet brought a rather more indulgent character to that familiar formula, offering genuine four-seat open-top motoring without sacrificing the refinement and comfort expected of an E-Class.
By 1995, the 124 had entered the final phase of its long production life, with the Cabriolet continuing after the arrival of the new-generation E-Class saloon. This E 220 pairs a 2.2-litre four-cylinder engine with a four-speed automatic transmission, providing a relaxed drivetrain well suited to the model’s grand-touring character.
What particularly distinguishes this example is its history. The seller advises that the car is accompanied by an unusually comprehensive collection of documentation, including previous V5s, MOT certificates, tax discs, service records, maintenance receipts and even its original purchase invoice and order paperwork. Its factory Mercedes-Benz stereo is also due to be reinstated, while the original overmats remain with the car beneath a second protective set.
The seller describes both the exterior and interior as being in exceptional condition, with no dents, scratches, splits or other notable damage reported. With more than 92,000 miles recorded, a long MOT and such extensive provenance accompanying it, this carefully preserved E 220 Cabriolet has much to recommend it as a late example of one of Mercedes-Benz’s most admired modern-classic designs.
