The Appeal

The W124-generation Mercedes-Benz is widely regarded as one of the finest saloons ever produced, engineered to a standard that many feel the marque has never quite matched since. For many, it's that truly definitive Mercedes-Benz for the ages. The E320, powered by the smooth M104 inline-six, is among the most desirable variants in the range, combining effortless performance with the refinement for which the W124 is celebrated.

This 1994 example was cherry-picked by the vendor from a friend in the trade in 2023 and has since been enjoyed as a daily driver during the warmer months. With 101,000 miles on the clock, this is an eminently drivable '90s classic that's ready and waiting for its lucky new owner.
