Launched in 1984 and remaining in production until 1997, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W124 Series) is widely recognised as the last of the 'over-engineered' Mercedes models before cost-cutting began to erode the marque's once impregnable reputation for money-no-object design.

Available in saloon, estate, coupe and convertible guises with a bewildering array of petrol and diesel engine options, it was at its most elegant when delivered in pillarless coupe form as on offer here.

Beautifully balanced and equipped with Mercedes' superlatively sure-footed multi-link rear suspension, it had nicely weighted power-assisted steering and excellent disc brakes. Introduced in 1993, the facelifted E220 Coupe used a 2.2-litre straight-four 16-valve engine producing 148bhp and 155lb/ft of torque which gave the car a top speed of 130mph.

This smart looking example has had four previous owners and has covered 136,000 miles from new. There are a number of old MOT certificates and a large quantity of bills on file, including many for service and maintenance through Mercedes-Benz of Dorchester over the years. The service book also shows various additional stamps, the most recent of which dates from 2011 at which time it had covered 120,000 miles.

MOTd until July 2016, this well looked after example has plenty of miles left under its wheels and is ready for immediate use.
