1994 Mercedes-Benz E220 Cabriolet
(C124)
Charming 4-seat cabriolet finished in white with
contrasting blue leather piped white; showing just 56,663 miles - investment
alert!
Dating from May 1994 and supplied by Anderson Mercedes
Benz of Tyne and Wear, this attractive, face-lift E220 Cabriolet is finished in
two tone Polar white with beautifully contrasting blue mohair hood. Sitting on
its original 15" multi-hole alloy wheels, it looks very much the 90's class
act it was - and still is.
Inside, we find lovely blue leather
piped white with matching dashboard, console and carpets with over mats, walnut
trim, dual zone temperature control (without A/C), electric roof with heated
glass rear screen, electric pop-up rear head-rests that double as roll-over
protection, walnut trim, electric mirrors, electric windows, radio/CD player,
heated front seats, front centre arm rest, functioning seat-belt
butlers and hugely useful removable pop up/down rear wind deflector which
makes a considerable difference with the roof down
Under the hood, we
find the 150bhp 2.2-litre four-cylinder that offers sufficient performance
combined with economy driving the rear wheels through 4-speed automatic
transmission with Sports and Economy modes.
Showing just 56,633 miles,
the car has been with our Mercedes-Benz enthusiast and collector since July
2011, during which time he has toured Europe with the car, enjoying every mile.
Between trips the car has lived in a secure climate controlled classic car
storage facility in Herefordshire along with several other of his
collection.
Within the history file we find the V5C showing five previous
keepers, owner's pack and file of old MOTs and invoices. Looking at
the bills on file, we see the C124 has been treated to a set of Michelllin tyres
in October 2014 at a cost of £355, repair to the rear light wiring and
service in April 2012 at 50,990 miles, had the engine cleaned internally with
EDT and renewed the brake fluid at 55,109 miles in May 2016 at a cost of £217.20
by an Independant MB specialist, repacement ABS module, instroment cluster
reostat , boot struts and MOT at a cost of £562 in September 2018, a new rear
exhaust section in 2008 at a cost of £218 and further historic annual service
invoices dating from our vendors purchase in 2011 back to the car's first
service by supplying dealer Anderson Mercedes including the original bill of
sale (£32,323.40) to its first owner of 6 years, Mr A. Duckworth of Sunderland.
The sale from the first owner to second, a lady is also documented with a
receipt of sale for some £20,000.
In addition, we find two sets of
keys and emergency keys, an impressive 20 old MOTs dating back to 1997
which confirm the car's low mileage up in addition to the invoiced history
on file. The car's MOT expired in Septeber 2019 when just one advisory was
recorded for a brake pipe corroded or covered in grease at which point the car
had covered 56,433 miles just 200 miles have been covered since with the car
having remained in storage since. With recent, and current restrictions our
vendor has, with regret, not been able to travel up from East Sussex to attend
to the MOT in time for the sale.
