1992 Mercedes-Benz 300CE C124 - Dark Blue - 313,346km - 3.0L M104 Inline-6, Automatic, Pillarless Coupe, Australian Delivery
Price Guide: $6,500 - $11,000
1992 Mercedes-Benz 300CE C124 pillarless coupe, dark blue, 3.0-litre M104 24-valve inline-six, automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive, 313,346km, Australian-delivered.
Description
The C124 is the coupe body variant of the legendary W124 E-Class platform. No B-pillar, frameless door glass, and a lower, wider roofline than the sedan give it a distinctly elegant two-door presence that holds up as one of the best-looking things Mercedes made in the 1990s. The 300CE brings the 3.0-litre M104 24-valve DOHC inline-six, a smooth and well-regarded engine, mated to a four-speed automatic. This example is Australian-delivered, confirmed by the Mercedes-Benz Australia compliance plate from the Milperra facility, and carries the "300CE 24" badging that distinguishes the 24-valve specification. The instrument cluster confirms 313,346 kilometres.
The dark navy blue exterior presents with reasonable gloss and straight body panels with no visible major dents or accident damage. Headlights show moderate hazing. Door window visors are fitted, a minor addition. The interior retains its burl walnut trim and original dark leather upholstery. The dashboard and wood trim are intact and presentable. The leather shows significant wear, fading, and creasing on the seat bolsters consistent with the high mileage, and the driver's seat bolster shows cracking and splitting. Floor carpet is stained and worn through in places. This car has clearly been in storage for some time. Photos confirm an accumulation of leaves and road grime in the engine bay near the firewall, and a battery charger connected to the vehicle, indicating the battery is weak or flat. The secondary bonnet latch is broken and requires repair before safe road use. The vehicle presents as a solid candidate for recommissioning and cosmetic refurbishment.
C124 coupes have been building momentum as W124-era prices trend upward. Clean examples with good interiors are asking $12,000 to $20,000 on the private market. A high-mileage driver needing recommissioning and interior attention like this one realistically sits in the $5,000 to $9,000 range at auction, representing good value for a buyer who wants the C124 coupe body at an accessible entry point.
