Lot details Registration No: N362HTE Chassis No: WDB1240422C213214 Mot Expiry: June 2009
Introduced in 1986, the W124-series was arguably the last Mercedes-Benz model range to have its design parameters laid down by engineers rather than accountants. Faster and more fuel efficient than its predecessor thanks to a monocoque chassis that was stiffer, more aerodynamic and around 200lbs lighter, it further benefited from revised anti-dive suspension geometry and a sophisticated multi-link back axle set-up. Powered by a wide variety of petrol and diesel engines, W124s could be had in saloon, estate or coupe guises (though, most were specified with automatic transmission regardless of bodystyle). Re-branded as the E-class in 1993, the mid-size Mercedes otherwise remained remarkably unchanged throughout its eleven-year production life.
Finished in metallic red with cream cloth upholstery, this particular coupe example is fitted with a 2199cc (150bhp, 155lbft) four-cylinder petrol engine allied to four-speed automatic transmission. Said to have had just "three former keepers" and to have covered 89,000 miles from new, it is described by the vendor as being in "very good" condition with regard to its engine, automatic transmission, interior trim, chassis, bodywork, paintwork and wheels / tyres. Reportedly entering the current family ownership during February 2006, 'N362 HTE' is further understood to have been "serviced by Mercedes throughout" with "twelve stamps in the book". An emerging classic catered for by an active owners' club, this elegant coupe is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until June 2009.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
