Mercedes-Benz W124 E320 Coupe Tourmaline Green Metallic Mopf 2 (1994)

Vehicle description

From 1987, the Mercedes-Benz 124 model series supplemented a four-seater coupé: only the stem and rear lights were identical to the saloon, otherwise it was an independent body with a shorter wheelbase, lower overall height, and reinforced sheet metal sections in the area of the A-pillar, side skirts and doors. The side windows of the coupé were frameless and fully retractable, which contributed to the elegant silhouette of the car. Mercedes-Benz packed a sumptuous standard equipment into the coupés of the 124 model series (including an electric belt bringer for the driver and front passenger as well as more safety features) and ensured elaborate noise insulation. In total, almost 142,000 coupés rolled off the production line.

The Mercedes-Benz of the 124 model series offered in this auction is a coupé as a model version E 320 from the year of construction 1994. This car with the FIN WDBEA52E7RC055855 is a USA reimport and has a total of 3 vehicle owners. According to the seller, the history of the E 320 can be traced, as there are many documents such as invoices and other documents about the coupé. TÜV does not currently own this Mercedes-Benz – for which 1 vehicle key is available – matching numbers are given.

Since this E 320 Coupé is already part of the Model 2 series (also referred to as "MoPf 2" in fan circles) due to its year of construction, this Mercedes-Benz no longer bears the star on the chrome grille, but on the bonnet and the flashing lights at the front and rear changed from yellow to white (or grey). Externally, the E 320 in "tourmaline green metallic" presents itself in a clean condition – according to the seller, according to his opinion, no major repainting took place, the paint quality is well preserved. All ornaments such as the so-called "Sacco boards" as well as the front and rear bumpers are also in undamaged condition. The seller can completely rule out an accident.

Bridgestone tyres from the 2014 production year in the size 195/65 are mounted on original Mercedes-Benz 8-hole alloy wheels. No deficits can be identified in the brake system and in the area of the chassis this coupé is in original condition.

Light leather, which has some age-related patina, can be taken from the interior of this Mercedes-Benz. The beige interior harmonises very well with the outer colour in tourmaline green metallic and provides a great sense of space inside this E 320 due to the light colour. The equipment of the coupé reads extremely rich – according to the optional equipment codes, the E 320 was equipped with the following features ex works: seats electrically adjustable on both sides, airbag for front passenger, storage box in the centre console at the front, storage box at the rear, 3rd brake light, electric sunroof with lifting device, head restraints in the rear, cruise control, steering column electrically adjustable, sun visor with make-up mirror illuminated left and right, Burglary and theft warning system (EDW), automatic climate control, thermally insulating glass all around, heated rear window, headlight cleaning system, sound system and a Mercedes-Benz Exquisit cassette radio. Common to all equipment features is their flawless functioning.

109,770 kilometers can be read from the speedometer meter in the middle of the instrument cluster: According to the current owner, this mileage can be fully documented, since all invoices from the USA are available and there are also some documents from Germany, which make the total mileage credible. The function of all instruments in the dashboard is given.

As an engine in this E 320 – as the model name already reveals – there is a 3.2-liter in-line six-cylinder under the bonnet in the bow, from which the power of the 220 hp is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 4-speed automatic. The seller mentions that a new service has only recently been completed and the powertrain of the Mercedes-Benz has no defects, and there are currently no repairs pending.

The underbody of the coupé is very good in terms of condition. This E 320 attracts with its sophistication of its 6 cylinders and the elegance that the silhouette of the coupé offers. Due to the rich equipment of the Mercedes-Benz to be auctioned here and the quite iconic color combination of exterior and interior, this coupé of the 124 model series represents a special example, which is also the top engine in the model range as the E 320.
