EXTERIOR
This handsome 124 cabriolet looks magnificent in two-tone metallic silver, a timeless choice for a Mercedes of this vintage. As a factory Sportline the car boasts specially tuned suspension including shorter and stiffer springs, struts, anti-roll bars and bushings for better handling, lower ride height and a more impressive stance. Wider eight-hole wheels and tyres complete the look.

The car presents in really nice condition throughout. There are just a handful of discreet blemishes to report on close inspection, the worst being some minor blemishes along the rear bumper. At the front of the car youll find crystal clear headlamps with the handy washer system, and along the sides all panels are looking nice and straight. The Mercedes also sports privacy glass and an electric folding hood, the condition of which is first-rate.

INTERIOR
The interior is really what sets this example apart from the others. The supple upholstery retains an excellent matte sheen, free from the shininess and wear of higher mileage examples. Black leather extends to the door cards, the smaller diameter sports steering wheel, and Sportline gear knob. Both front seats are fully electric with memory for maximum comfort at the touch of a button, and the new-looking rear seats have electrically retractable head restraints that act as a roll bar when the roof is down. Glancing across the dash and along the centre console youll find unmarked walnut veneer with the original Mercedes cassette radio in place. The anthracite carpets are also pristine having always been protected in the footwells by tailored Mercedes overmats. The factory-optional fire extinguisher is still fitted below the front passenger seat.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
The engine bay is remarkably well preserved, presenting to an excellent standard with no signs of any damage or poor repair upon inspection. Theres no corrosion to be found to any of the painted areas and all ancillaries appear in fine fettle. The car has been freshly serviced at the current mileage and runs beautifully. With a mere 36k miles to its name the engine pulls well and the auto box shifts seamlessly through the gears. The MOT is valid until May 2020.

WHEELS, TYRES AND BRAKES
One of the Sportlines main features is the sports chassis with wider wheels and tyres (option code 653). This means that the classic eight-hole design alloys are actually 7 inches wide instead of the usual 6.5 inches. With the wider tyres and specially tuned suspension the Sportline handles remarkably well and has a much more commanding presence on the road.

All four alloys have just returned from Lepsons having been fully refurbished to the highest standard. Brand new OEM centre caps have also been fitted to complete the as new finish. The wheels are shod in a matching set of Continental tyres all round, each with ample tread remaining. The brakes perform well on test.

HISTORY FILE
