Mercedes 300 TE 24 1992 - To be auctioned 27-07-18 For Sale by Auction

This car was fully specified and purchased from new from a dealer in the Netherlands by the vendor’s late uncle, who was an electrical engineer, and kept it in Switzerland and then in London in a heated garage until he bought it from him about six years ago and it became his daily drive.
The car has been very well-maintained and used as a very practical machine, hence it is not immaculate but is completely genuine and original.
The specifications list is substantial and includes: Two heated front seats, Driver’s seat fully electrically operated, Air-conditioning needs to be made gas tight but is fully-functioning, ABS braking system, Anti-gravel skirting, Electrical Sun-roof factory fitted and functioning and watertight, Air suspension driver’s seat, The car has three separate immobiliser and alarm systems but these are no longer used, Original radio and aerial, Full Mercedes mats and spares, New exhaust system, Excellent tyres all round and spare, Full Mercedes tyre kit.



Auctioneers notes: We have little doubt the mileage on this car is correct however we do not have quite enough history to warrant it. See below a copy of a letter from the vendor:

This model of Mercedes is the one used in Fifth Gear when they tried to find an unbreakable car. It is the one they dropped the BMW on and the BMW crumpled, whilst the body shell of the Mercedes was barely dented. It’s been my favourite car ever but I now drive over 50 miles every day and need a replacement.

This car was fully specified and purchased from new from a dealer in the Netherlands in 1992 by my late uncle, who was an electrical engineer, and kept the car in Switzerland for the first two years in a heated garage, before replacing it with a left hand drive car. He then moved the car back to his home in London in a garage where he kept it for the next 18 years until I bought it from him about six years ago and it became my daily drive.

My uncle really did not use the car much, whilst in London, other than starting it every week or so and getting it MOT’s regularly, hence the very low mileage of 42, 500 when I brought it from him. I cannot guarantee the mileage whilst the car was owned by my uncle but it seems right and the MOT certificates seem to bear it out.

I can guarantee the mileage during my ownership. The car has less than 100, 000 which is barely worn in for a W124.

The car has been very well-maintained, virtually rust-free and used as a very practical machine, for everything from daily driving to dinners and the recycling centre (the bed folds flat and it carries a huge payload, hence it is not immaculate but is completely genuine and original. It comes with a complete service history mostly since I bought it and some previous history from my uncle.

Mercedes Benz Roof rails can be included
