The Bolesworth Castle March 2024 Classic & Performance Car Auction
2016 Mercedes E220 AMG Line
Registration – LA16 OXG
Chassis No. – WDD2074012F353012
M.O.T. - March 2025
Odometer – 55,332
Mercedes-Benz has a proud history when it comes to convertibles, and this example of an E-Class Cabriolet looks as refined and peerless as many of its predecessors. The E220 is presented in black with tan and black interior – a colour combination that will remain timeless – and is as well equipped as you would expect a Mercedes to be; even one that is now eight years old. Factory fitted equipment includes Mercedes-Benz’s Air Scarf technology, which blows warm air around the head-rests for improved comfort when the top is down, as well as heated seats, to help aid all-year round convertible motoring. Up front is the company’s 2.1-litre diesel engine, connected to a seven-speed automatic, ideal for the sort of effortless driving the E-Class Cabriolet is built for. All aspects of the vehicle, from engine and transmission to bodywork and electrics, are described as in excellent condition by the vendor, who is only the third keeper in the car’s history. This two-door, four-seat convertible is offered with an indicated 55,332 miles on the odometer.
Now in its sixth generation, the Mercedes-Benz line-up of executive E Class cars dates back to 1993, when the name was adopted, though the model type has been a mainstay of the Mercedes range since 1953. The first generation was effectively a facelifted version of the long-running W124 model, which was offered until until 1995, when it was replaced by the larger, W210 E Class range. The third-generation (W211) came along in 2002, before the fourth-generation in 2009 brought about a greater split between the saloon/estate and coupe/cabriolet models. In 2015, the fifth generation came with many design cues from the larger S-Class, and also a set of smaller-capacity, turbocharged engines across much of the range. The long-running badge is now in its sixth iteration as of 2023, with a range that includes all four body styles, petrol, diesel, and plug-in hybrid powertrains, and close links to the EQE all-electric saloon too.
In summary:
· A highly-desirable version of this generation of E-Class Cabriolet
· Comes with a long list of equipment
· Relatively low mileage example
