The private seller offers for sale this 1991 Mercedes-Benz 200 E, equipped with a 1996 cc four-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a manual transmission. Finished in dark blue over a grey interior, this W124 combines the understated elegance of Mercedes-Benz’s most celebrated sedan range with the tuning style that was popular in Germany in the 1990s. The modifications were chosen to suit the period and sit comfortably within the original appearance of the car.
The most eye-catching changes are the MAE alloy wheels in combination with the registered lowered suspension. Together they give the sedan a sporty and elegant stance without taking away the classic character of the W124. Equipment includes heated front seats, a sunroof, electrically folding rear head restraints, a sound system with a boot-mounted subwoofer and ABS. The seller describes the original interior as particularly well cared for, and the grey fabric seats, wood trim and carpets in the photos give the cabin an authentic period atmosphere.
Maintenance has not been neglected. In August 2026 the car was set up and tuned by a specialist workshop for the W124 series, an invoice of more than 500 euros according to the seller. The battery and the air flow sensor potentiometer have also been replaced recently, and the car stands on tyres with a DOT code of 1725. At 145000 km, the odometer reading is in line with the age of the car.
The W124 was introduced in 1984 as the successor to the W123 and remained in production until 1995. It set the benchmark for build quality and engineering in the executive class, with a multi-link rear axle derived from the 190 and a reputation for durability that has made it a favourite among enthusiasts. The 200 E, powered by the fuel-injected M102 four-cylinder engine, was the sensible entry into the range, and it is today appreciated for its simple, robust mechanics and its comfortable ride. This 1991 example belongs to the post-facelift cars, which gained the lower side skirts and the smoother lines that many consider the best-looking version of the W124.
As the seller notes, this is not a fully restored collector’s piece but a characterful classic that shows the normal signs of age and use for a car of more than thirty years old. For admirers of authentic Mercedes-Benz tuning of the 1990s, it offers a distinctive take on a modern classic.
