SB's Take

  • This 320CE sits near the top of the W124 range, combining the platform’s legendary build quality with the free-revving M104 24-valve straight-six
  • Finished in classic Tourmaline Green Metallic over Mushroom leather interior
  • A highly usable modern classic that continues to gain recognition among informed enthusiasts
SB is thrilled to be offering this 1992 Mercedes-Benz 320CE (W124), a model widely regarded as one of the finest non-AMG W124 variants and a high point of Mercedes-Benz engineering in the early 1990s. Powered by the revered M104 3.0-litre 24-valve straight-six, the 320CE delivers a distinctly mechanical character that modern cars simply no longer replicate. Paired here with a factory automatic transmission, it offers long-legged cruising entirely in keeping with the car’s original executive brief. Finished in Tourmaline Green Metallic over full Mushroom leather interior, the car presents a timeless understated elegance that suits the W124’s Bruno Sacco-penned design perfectly. This example retains the correct period details, including pillarless windows and the original asymmetric “elephant ear” door mirrors, a defining hallmark of Mercedes design from this era. Factory equipment includes an electric tilt/slide sunroof, infra-red remote central locking, and electric passenger-side mirror. Increasingly difficult to find in correct specification and original configuration, this UK-market 320CE represents a compelling opportunity to acquire a truly usable modern classic. It's equally suited to daily use, long-distance touring on your favourite B roads or indeed cross continental travels and finally, to pull out and show off at your local car meets. This is a car that exemplifies Mercedes-Benz at its engineering peak. As always, the seller is available to answer all questions via the Comments section below. Buyers should bid with confidence.

Summary

Finished in timeless Tourmaline Green Metallic, it benefits from a desirable UK-market specification including an electric sunroof and the correct period asymmetric “elephant ear” mirrors. A refined, well-specified example of Mercedes-Benz engineering at its early-1990s peak, and an increasingly sought-after modern classic. Buyers should bid with confidence.

Finally, all cars on Shooting Brake are run through a 3rd party online vehicle checker, MotorSpecs (note, this does not include a mileage history check). This particular vehicle throws up no insurance claims for damage or theft and has no outstanding finance owing.

Additionally, photographs may not accurately represent the vehicle’s true overall condition. It is the bidder’s responsibility to verify the condition, and any past repairs—including bodywork or paintwork—before placing a bid or making a purchase. If you have any questions or queries, please use the Comments section to firstly ask the Seller directly before placing any bids. Shooting Brake tries to portray the item listed as accurately as possible through detailed questions asked to the seller but would like to remind users that all vehicles are sold as seen and, as per all goods purchased at auction, there is a No Return policy.
