1993 Mercedes-Benz E320 C124 Elegance, Nautic Blue Metallic (code 625), 3.2-litre M104.992 inline-six, automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive, pillarless coupe, 250,121km. Full Elegance equipment specification.
Description
The C124 Elegance is the premium specification of the W124 coupe body and one of the most complete luxury coupes Stuttgart produced in the 1990s. No B-pillar, fully frameless door glass, and a sweeping fastback roofline give the C124 a presence that looks entirely right more than thirty years on. The E320 badge brings the 3.2-litre M104.992 DOHC inline-six, a direct evolution of the unit that powered the 300CE and one of the finest engines of the era for refinement and longevity. Elegance specification adds the full luxury equipment list including grey leather interior, burl walnut trim, sunroof, power seats, CD player, and the complete luxury comfort package. Build date is confirmed as April 1993 on the factory data plate, and Nautic Blue Metallic (code 625) is verified on the same plate. The firewall data plate data is original and unaltered.
Photos show a very well-preserved exterior. The Nautic Blue Metallic paint presents with excellent gloss and depth, the body panels are straight, and the lower body burgundy pinstripe accent consistent with the Elegance trim is intact and visible in side profile. The coupe tail lights are undamaged, the rear bumper is clean, and the boot interior is immaculate with original carpeting and the factory European warning triangle on its holder. The interior is one of the best presented examples at this price point. Grey leather upholstery is clean and intact with only light age-related softening, no cracking or significant splits. Burl walnut trim is excellent throughout the dash, console, and door cards. The original Mercedes-Benz cassette and radio head unit is present. Climate control and all power features function. The instrument cluster confirms 250,121km. The one known issue with this car is the dashboard crash pad, which shows significant cracking and warping. This is a well-documented and extremely common failure on W124 examples of this vintage due to the foamed padding degrading with age and UV exposure. Replacement dashboards are available through specialists. It is worth noting because it is visible and
Well-maintained C124 E320 Elegance examples are among the most desirable of the W124 coupes and are genuinely appreciating. Clean examples with good interiors are asking $15,000 to $22,000 privately. This example, with its excellent exterior, largely intact interior, and confirmed factory specification, sits toward the better end of the market and should appeal to a buyer seeking a usable classic rather than a full restoration project.
