Lot details Registration No: YAZ 2399 Chassis No: WDB1240432B648719 Mot Expiry: July 2007
Introduced in 1986, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W124) is still renowned for its engineering integrity and superb build quality. A monocoque chassis design equipped with beautifully balanced coil-sprung suspension (wishbone front / multi-link rear), nicely weighted power-assisted steering and responsive four-wheel disc brakes, it was propelled by a generous selection of petrol and diesel engines. Available in saloon, estate, coupe and convertible guises, the vast majority were specified with automatic transmission. An image enhancer for the range, the 230CE exhibited notably sure-footed handling thanks to its forward-biased weight distribution. Credited with 134bhp and 151lbft of torque, its 2299cc SOHC four-cylinder powerplant reputedly enabled the pillarless four-seater to exceed 120mph. Belying its performance potential, the two-door coupe was blessed with elegant yet understated styling and a cosseting interior.
Finished in metallic red with beige cloth upholstery, this particular right-hand drive example is described by the vendor as being in "good" condition with regard to its engine, four-speed automatic transmission, electrical equipment, interior trim, chassis, bodywork and paintwork (though, he rates the wheels / tyres as "fair"). Said to have been "originally registered overseas", 'YAZ 2399' boasts a "fully stamped service book". Further benefiting from an "electric sunroof, alloy wheels, Becker radio cassette and rear spoiler", the coupe was apparently "imported in 1992". Believed but not warranted to have covered 103,500 miles from new, it is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until July 13th 2007 and road tax until February 28th 2007.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
