This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, Online Auction - 8th May on Thursday the 8th of May. Background:The W124 model is cited as one of Mercedes' high-water marks, in production for just over a decade from the mid-1980s onwards.Autocar magazine once called this car 'the best used car in the world'. This exact car was featured in Autocar in April 2020 to see if that claim still holds true. The Car:This beautiful E320 Estate was first registered on 24th September 1993. The original owner wasn’t shy with options — the first buyer opted for the Sportline pack, which brought lower and firmer suspension, as well as 205-profile tyres for the 15" alloys. Combined with the choice of a black exterior and beige interior, this makes for a rare car indeed. The W124 offers an involving driving experience, especially when paired with the glorious straight six-cylinder engine and 5-speed automatic gearbox. The car has been well maintained throughout its life, as demonstrated by 18 service stamps in the original service book. The file also contains hard copy MOTs, service receipts and details of larger recommissioning items (totalling over £18,000), such as a new blower motor, air condenser, front road springs, rear subframe suspension, replacement engine wiring loom, transmission oil cooler pipes, gearbox and torque converter. Supplied with the owners book pack, three keys and a fresh MOT. A fully fledged classic — one of the cars that occupies a pinnacle and one we’ll still be celebrating long after the combustion engine has retired.
