*Highly original

The introduction of the 200E and 220E models in 1992 made the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (E='Executive') W124 bodyshell available with the smaller, more economical engines of 'Compact' C-Class. These new engines featured twin overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder, and variable inlet timing, and Mercedes claimed that their more efficient combustion both improved fuel economy and reduced emissions. In October 1993 there was a change of name for the E-Class models, the 'E' becoming a prefix rather than a suffix. At the same time the cars were mildly face-lifted, the most obvious change being a frame-less grille recessed into the bonnet panel. In this form the W124 saloon lasted only two years, being replaced in mid-1995 by the W120.
Finished in Brilliant Silver with a full Orion Grey leather interior , this E220 coupe has the 2.2-litre four-cylinder engine producing 150bhp, which is good enough for a top speed of around 130mph. The car has had only two owners from new, with the current owner having purchased the car in 1998 and comes with comprehensive service history. It retains its original interior. The Mercedes comes with its service book; numerous maintenance bills; an original Mercedes-Benz handbook/owner's manual; and a V5C Registration Certificate.
