All services for this vehicle
Description
For sale is a Mercedes-Benz E 220 Cabriolet (W124 series) first registered in June 1996 – making it one of the very last W124 cabriolets produced and a sought-after collector’s vehicle.
The body and undercarriage have been completely restored and are now in excellent condition – no rust.
The interior and mechanics remain in their original, very well-preserved condition – a clear advantage for enthusiasts who value authenticity.
The 2.2-liter petrol engine (150 hp) and automatic transmission run reliably and smoothly after a short warm-up period.
Once warm, the engine “purrs like a kitten” and the gearbox shifts effortlessly.
