For Sale: 1994 Mercedes-Benz 300E Sportline in Katwijk, Netherlands

Mercedes-Benz E-Klasse E200 W124 Sportline, 1994. Four owners, 27,602 km.

The W124 is regarded by many as the last real Mercedes. The last one built with the idea that a car should outlast its owner. Over-dimensioned, over-engineered, and therefore practically indestructible. There's a reason you still see them running as taxis in Morocco and Germany with astronomical numbers on the odometer. The Germans called it '�ber-Ingenieurskunst', and they were right. This generation was penned by Bruno Sacco, the man who also has the W126 and the R129 to his name. Not the most flamboyant designer, but the most timeless. A W124 from 1994 still looks grown-up today, whereas so many other cars from that era now look decidedly dated.

And on top of that, we're talking about a Sportline here. For the uninitiated: the Sportline wasn't a separate model, but a factory-fitted package you could order alongside it. Lowered chassis, firmer springs and dampers, thicker anti-roll bars, and wider rubber under the rear. Mercedes essentially built a subtly dressed sports version that you only recognise from the outside if you know what to look for. No spoilers, no bells, no whistles. Just a sharp suit with a slightly keener cut. Exactly the way the Germans intended.

The story continues on our website, where the full file is kept as well. 86 photographs including the underside. The service history, scanned in full. The Carfax report. Paint thickness measured panel by panel. A timeline from 15 April 1994 to today, with every owner and the mileage year by year in a single graph.
