69.000km E420 W124

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 being a late production W124 it's from the 2nd Facelift and therefore a true E-Class, the E420. It houses the magnificent 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. Original paint apart from 2 panels.
We have recently converted the trunklid to European model. This was perfectly repainted with 100% colormatch, also the headlights have been converted for driving on the right.

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 E420. 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.

In January of 2026 we have done a major service of the vehicle.
