Lot details

Registration No: M510 LYV
Chassis No: WDB1240322C177765
MOT: January 2025

  • Rare Sportline example
  • In current family ownership since 2013 with circa 125,000 miles
  • Comprehensive service history and owned by a Mercedes Benz technician
  • Dry stored for many years and a rare W124 Sportline Saloon example

The Sportline variant of the E320 had wider alloy wheels, quick ratio steering and a smaller steering wheel, possessed a lower 21mm ride height and a specially tuned suspension. The published top speed was an impressive 144mph. Considered by many fans of the marque as the final 'hewn-from-granite' Mercedes-Benz, the Sportline was a very enticing ownership proposition. Motor Sport magazine called it, “the best Coupé.”

This rare Sportline iteration of the E320 was supplied from the factory Werk Sindelfingen, Germany, on 19th September 1994, then registered UK on the 4th October 1994 and has enjoyed a low ownership. The vendor, who is a well-known Mercedes-Benz specialist and a technician of over 20 years, inherited the car from his late father who had owned the car for the last 16 years. Sadly, he passed away in 2013 and the car was placed into dry storage, although it has been run regularly and has benefitted from a recent service, tyres and the air- conditioning has been re-gassed. We are informed this E320 Sportline drives extremely well and with everything operational, including the electric sunroof and the electric radio. The vendor has recalled how much his dad enjoyed meetings with fellow enthusiasts of the Mercedes-Benz Owner’s Club. Said to be 'Excellent' throughout, and complete with the service book, original book pack and spare keys, the E320 has also benefitted from recent large service and is offered with the V5C.
