What’s special about this listing

Mercedes' best car ever built - here in a gorgeous spec and condition.
The 320E and therefore a MoPf 1 W124 with the Ultimate engine: the 320 M104 engine that was introduced in late '92.
80.000 kilometers, Original Paint, Karo, 5-Speed Auto, Sportline - The one to have
Sportline
This something quite special and i'm fond of myself particularly. This is a Mercedes-Benz 320E, produced for only 10 months. The 320 M104 Engine was introduced in September of 1992 and in July of 1993 the W124 received it's 2nd facelift after which the car was sold as E-Class: E320.

I feel the W124 looks best in this shape, with the original grille and the orange blinkers - as Mr. Sacco's team meant it. This very car was ordered and used by Mr. Fritz from Ingersheim, Stuttgart area. He used it from March of 1993 up to 2025 and for just 79.000 kilometers. He ordered his W124 in a fantastic configuration, as a he must have been proud of what cars they built 40 minutes away.

The car was ordered in 199 Blauschwarz with the 953 Sportline package, 244 Sportseats in Black with Karo/Check upholstery. Part of the Sportline package is 281 Sport steering wheel in 390mm, 653 Sport chassis with 8-hole wheels 7J wide. Further lovely options are the 425 5-Speed gearbox, 211 Automatic slip differential, 600 headlight washers, 731 wood trim, 873 heated seats, 586 airconditioning and 440 Cruise control.

The W124 with the 320 Engine and the 5-speed is the best driving combination in my eyes. The Sportline has slightly lowered suspension, much better body control, 7J wheels with 205 wide tyres, Sportline badges on the front fenders and shifter. This very car was with the orignal owner from 1993 up to 2025 - Something very special. It was shortly owned by a W124-Fan and friend of ours who loved the car but ran out of space.

Excellent condition throughout: The trim/strips around the roof/windows are still back - this car was always kept inside! This example shows no rust; The jack points, rear axle mounts, floors, etc are all solid in this solid on this 320E. The paint is all original. Perfect panelgaps, smooth paint. The original set of tools in the trunk never was taken out of the plastic - unique! The spare wheel was never used.

The engine-bay of the car is very original. Factory details and tags and the silky smooth 3,2L M104 engine. Everything is clean, untouched and all plated parts are excellent, the sticker on the valve cover is still present and the hood insulation is still the original.
The way this 80.000 kilometer example sits on the road, corners, feels and drives is amazing. Important to know: the engine wiring harness has been replaced as well as the airflow sensor and engine mounts. The A/C blows cold, the cruise control works, the gearbox shifts lovely and an alignment was performed recently.

The car comes with the full set of documentation. The 'bordmappe' with all manuals, the original Fahrzeugbrief, 2 keys and ofcourse the service book. It shows countless stamps documenting the service history from Mercedes-Benz dealerships as well as specialists.
Fantastic example that can be enjoyed directly: German vehicle with valid Tüv.

Amazing condition, amazing spec and 80.000 documented kilometers.
Completely serviced and ready to enjoy.
