1 the W124 range of cars superseded the erstwhile W123 which had enjoyed a successful 11-year production life.? At launch the W124 range consisted of saloon and estate variants only.? A svelte coupe version appeared in 1987 with the cabriolet finally launching in 1992.? At that point the A124 became the first new four-seater cabriolet in the range for over 20 years.? For somewhile the W124 range of cars was somewhat clumsily referred to by as the ''intermediate'' range. It wasn't until a year after the cabriolet's launch that the cars started to be officially marketed as the E-Class for the first time.? The cabriolet was based directly on the coupe and yet, in true fashion, over 1,000 parts were substituted mainly in the name of stiffening the car to within an inch of its life. The loss of the 28kg roof panel was compensated for by the addition of 130kgs of stiffening paraphernalia. This even included four different vibration absorbers to help ensure none of the usual scuttle shake and vibration suffered by convertibles would blight the A124.? Such was the obsession with word-class engineering values at in the early 90's.
For consignment, a 2 owner documented low mileage car, (42,176 original title verified miles),…this car is merely being broken in.? Couple this with an owner that obsessively cared for and maintained this car for the last 20 years and always kept it safely stored in the garage.? ou have a car that has a lot of value…low mileage, and REAL reliability.
Exterior
Design wise ahead of anything else of its time, this iant Silver llic painted car looks like the part of a well maintained and garage kept treasure.? A few visible scuffs and chips are noted throughout but nothing bad enough to kick the car out of bed for eating crackers.? All panels are essentially perfect, and doors slam with that quintessential – ''thud''.? The black canvas top works perfectly, and if you were not watching it, you would swear it was never even on the car as it just totally disappears!? When it's up there is no visible evidence of bows or mechanisms.? With darker silver bumpers, lower body cladding, and premium chrome, this car screams you have arrived, but not with the noise of its powerful engine or throaty exhaust, but with just class, and quality of build.? Very similar to a debutante floating down the curved stairway ready to come out and sign her name on the social register.? unding out the exterior are 15-inch alloy wheels with a heavy amount of corrosion and clean coat degradation wrapped in 195/65R15 rubber from the 45th week of 2020.
Interior
leather wraps electronically adjustable seats and will accommodate virtually any size driver.? These seats have only minimal wear in the form of age wrinkling, but no tearing or color rub off. ? A burl center console houses the power window option, power convertible top, as well as the power mirror control, gear selector, radio, AM/FM/Cassette player, and climate controls.? The electronic dash has virtually every monitoring light one could imagine, and holds on to the analog speedo, clock, tach, oil pressure, fuel gauge, and engine temp gauges.? ing this dash is the all business black steering wheel with levers for cruise control, intermittent wipers, and steering column adjustment.? More gray carpeting floods the floors for both the front and rear seat passengers and looks almost as good as the day it left the factory thanks to the carpeted floor mats.? nd built, and a mere 1,698 produced in 1994, and you have something very special.? My dear, increase the output of the concerto music on the stereo.
Drivetrain
A M104 3.2 er inline 6 engine, all hand built, produces 217hp and is fed by EFI.? On the back is a 4-speed automatic transmission that sends power back to a 3.07 geared rear axle.
dercarriage
Some very light surface rust is showing up here and there, but it is all definitely unremarkable.? nd effects per se with the floor pans which are a nice patina factory charcoal black and no rust seen anywhere on these.? Independent double wishbone suspension with coil springs is upfront, and independent 5 link coil spring suspension on back.? Power disc brakes are on all 4 corners.
Drive-Ability
I climbed in and breathed in the personality that this car exudes.? Sometimes feisty, always ready for whatever, and one could expect a stellar performance from this car when they were put to the task at hand.? This car performed beautifully for a 6 banger, and with the top down I felt like a million bucks.? An overall excellent car with not a frown to be noted.
king for a reliable sporty nimble convertible that will go on for another 200 to 300K miles?? Stop looking and get in here, it's going to go quickly just like it did on the test drive.
