Description

This lot will be auctioned via Historics Classic and Sportscar Auctioneers at The Brooklands Velocity; Mercedes-Benz World sale on Saturday 29th November. Superb service historyOne of the finest availableMercedes-Benz introduced the 'E-Class' to the market in 1985 with the cabriolet version available from 1991. The W124 series was designed to last many miles with awards presented and received for high mileage versions. Much of the 124's engineering and many of its features were advanced automotive technology, incorporating innovations that have been adopted throughout the industry. It had one of the lowest drag coefficients of any vehicle at the time due to its aerodynamic body which included plastic moulding for the undercarriage to streamline airflow beneath the car reducing fuel consumption and wind noise. It had a single windscreen wiper that had an eccentric mechanism at its base extending the wiper's reach to the top corners of the windscreen. The coupes and convertibles had optional rear headrests that would fold down remotely to improve rearward visibility when required.This rare low mileage Mercedes E220 automatic cabriolet, is finished in Almandine Red metallic with Mushroom leather trim and walnut facia. The car was first registered on 3rd August 1994 by Dingle Mercedes of Llandudno at a sale price of £38,500 to the first keeper who owned the car for 22 years until 2016 when he sold the car at 46,000 miles. On 19th October 2018 the car was sold to a Mr Holder at 48,000 miles who owned the car until March 2022 at a mileage of 56,500 miles when it was sold to its last owner who only sold it because of a lifestyle change by moving to Spain permanently in April 2024. Up until then, having spent many months searching for such a car as this, with its comprehensive history and outstanding condition, he had intended to keep the car for ever, being a member of the official Mercedes-Benz Owners Club. During this cars life it has had 19 services, the last of which was carried out at 60,374 miles on 20th October 2023 and on the 23rd March 2022 it had the head gasket replaced along with the head being skimmed at 56,245 miles at a cost of £2,814.54. The specification and extras included metallic paint, diamond cut alloy wheels, leather trim, tinted electric windows all-round, electric mohair hood in black, classic radio, front arm rest, head lamp wash wipe, outside temperature gauge, wind deflector, and heated seats. The car comes with its original two sets of keys, full original Mercedes-Benz service pack with original fully stamped service book with 19 stamps and factory build sheet, also with the car are files with every service invoice and MoTs from new, along with lots of literature relating to Mercedes-Benz E220 cabriolets. This rare low mileage example is a true collectors car and can only increase in value over the coming years as all Mercedes-Benz convertibles have done as history shows. Also, there are very few proper adult four seat convertibles being manufactured these days. Consigned by James Good
