AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
No Mercedes collection should be incomplete without:
Mercedes A124 Cabriolet (a proper four-seater!)
Manual transmission with the very economical and smooth-running 2.2-liter inline-four M111E22 (four valves per cylinder, EURO2), absolutely unmodified and with a complete service history, original condition with low mileage and very nice equipment (22 special features) in rare gloss black (Black 040). Collector's condition.
Design, features and general information:
Mercedes A124 E220 Sportline, initial delivery (pickup) on 13/09/1994 at the Mercedes plant in Sindelfingen, first registration September 1994 in Düsseldorf, since 2002 continuously in Bavaria.
This beautiful convertible was first delivered on September 13, 1994 at the Mercedes plant in Sindelfingen, had previously received a (likely purely registration-related) day registration from Mercedes Brüggemann, and was driven in Düsseldorf until 2002.
Since 2002 the car has been in Bavarian ownership and has only been used as a well-kept hobby vehicle in the summer (see annual mileage in the history).
This is an exceptionally beautiful and very well-maintained vehicle in the sought-after Sportline trim with a leather steering wheel, a leather gear knob, and the attractive sport seats in a checkered pattern, in truly impeccable condition (no signs of wear, no deterioration).
The service visits in the early years were carried out exclusively at Mercedes-Benz and, thereafter, tended to occur more frequently than the prescribed mileage interval.
The last service was carried out at 175,829 km, although according to the service book it would have been due at 195,000 km. The service book with the original data card and the onboard folder with the original operating instructions, etc., are of course complete (everything that belongs there is present) and in as well-kept a condition as the vehicle itself. Non-smoker vehicle, no pets.
The main inspection was renewed in September 2024 together with the appraisal for historic vehicle registration (H registration) and can optionally be registered as a classic with an H license plate. Additionally, before winter storage in September 2024 the jack point mounts were freshly waxed.
The vehicle has been classified as Euro 2 emission class on the basis of a letter from Mercedes-Benz AG dated December 1995, which, compared with H registration, saves about €31 per year in vehicle tax.
A hassle-free companion for the beautiful season.
Economical, comfortable, yet agile, and also notably well-suited for long distances.

Condition report
Bodywork and Paint:
The bodywork and paint are in excellent condition. The gaps are uniform; doors and hoods close perfectly. No rust. The paint shows a very good mirror-like finish. There are no dust inclusions, nor craters or pits visible. Any signs of stone chips are not detectable to the naked eye.
The chrome parts have an excellent mirror finish and are free of scratches and dulling.
All glasses and panes are in very good condition. They are free of scratches, cracks, clouding, etc.. All rubber parts are mounted precisely, show no milling or porous spots, and are soft and flexible. Their sealing function is present all around.
Tires and wheels:
The rims and tires are in pristine condition.
Technical condition
The engine starts immediately whether cold or warm and runs very smoothly.
It revs up hard across all RPM ranges. No rattling, no clattering.
The engine is uniformly clean, and its cosmetic condition is practically like new.
The transmission shifts flawlessly. The brakes and suspension are solid and make no noises. All gauges and displays, as well as the ventilation system, operate flawlessly.
The last service, including an oil change (with filter), spark plugs, the air filter, and the brake fluid, was performed at 175,829 km, while the last main inspection together with the appraisal classifying the vehicle as a classic car under §23 StVZO was at a mileage of 181,006 km with no defects found.
The next German Hauptuntersuchung (main inspection) is due in September 2026. If desired, it can be renewed before handover, provided the inspection fees are covered plus a handling flat rate of €200 (the vehicle is currently stored for the winter).
Interior:
The interior of the passenger compartment is in like-new condition with only minimal signs of wear. The trunk is also in like-new condition. The odor is neutral and no parts are missing. All equipment components function flawlessly.
Neither the upholstery nor the dashboard, the headliner, or the carpets show any damage or faults. Everything is intact.
Documents
The vehicle documents and the service booklet are complete. The latest service invoice is available, as well as the documents pictured in the attached photos, such as the TÜV report, etc.
History/Overview
Very nice original condition, see photos. Honest condition 2 to 2+ (rating 2 according to Classic-Analytics Professional Check, rating 2+ according to ADAC Oldtimer Evaluation). 'Sportline' models in such well-kept condition are hardly to be found anymore. Everything works perfectly, is appealing (non-smoker vehicle, no pets) and spotless. Unlike some MoPf 2 vehicles of the W 124 series, this car does not have a paint problem caused by contamination of the dip bath for the body with anaerobic bacteria during production.
Please take a look at the attached photos and, if you wish, come see for yourself at a personal viewing.
