What a fantastic find on an amazing car and condition. We're big fans of the W124 Mercedes here.

What we've recently acquired is this E420 - A true 'Q-car'. The regular W124 with a 4,2 liter variant of the fantastic M119 V8 which also powers the wide E500/500E with a 5 liter displacement.

This was car was built in October of 1993 which makes it an E-Class with latest facelift. In Japan this was still badged as E400. Both the 400E and the E420 house the same 4196cc M119 V8 mounted to the excellent 4-speed transmission. This very car was sold in timeless 199 Blauschwarz-metallic over a Black leather interior. The paintwork is excellent, mint condition. The bonnet shows 1 repaint, the rest of the vehicle is all factory. Fantastic factory paint without any usermarks.

The trim/strips around the roof/windows is 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 420E. The interior consists of black leather that remains in nice, supple original and as-new condition. The dash shows no cracks and the wood on the center console is excellent. A true time capsule.

The engine-bay of the car is very original. Factory details and tags and the silky smooth 4,2L M119 engine. The way this 69.000 kilometer example sits on the road, corners, feels and drives is amazing. It says a lot about 90's Mercedes-Benz engineering. A piece of automotive history that really speaks.
Before the car will be delivered to it's new customer it will get a service with new fluids, filters and tyres.
