On the Surface:

This 1988 Mercedes-Benz 260E is a tidy and useable example, finished in Blue Black metallic over a Cream leather interior. This example has covered just 68,090 genuine miles from new.

Maintenance & History:

Originally registered in 1988, this 260E has enjoyed a relatively low-mileage life with careful ownership.

Accompanying the car is the original Mercedes-Benz bookpack, including the Owner's Manual, the 1988 European Dealership Directory, and the Maintenance Booklet. The Maintenance Booklet included shows nine service stamps between 1988 (at 1,032 miles) and 2007 (at 55,756 miles). It is currently MOT’d until December 2025 and comes with a Haynes manual for 1985–1993 models, making it an excellent proposition for practical classic use or light preservation.

The Model:

The Mercedes-Benz 260E, part of the W124 series, is often celebrated as one of the most well-engineered saloons of its era. With its 2.6-litre inline-six engine paired to a smooth automatic transmission, it offers a pleasurable driving experience. These models have earned a loyal following and are now collectible.
