EXTERIOR
This range topping luxurious Mercedes E320 CDI Avantgarde sports saloon is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic, (Code 744). The stunning paintwork simply gleams with a bright gloss shine and perfect uniform finish to every factory panel. Continually garaged stored by its only fastidious owner, it has escaped the normal corrosion issues and presents virtually as new. Such was the owners meticulous standards, he rejected the previous new car due to a paint defect and reordered! The beautifully made trim sections, chrome finishings and badges are pristine and the original Honeycomb Foil trim to the B and C-pillars are perfect. The imposing front grille and prominent Mercedes-Benz three-pointed star remind you of maker’s legacy and there is a small chip to the front screen and drivers door edge. The original supplying Mercedes-Benz dealer number plates remain fitted. The underside is astonishing and reflective of the low mileage fair weather use only. This cossetted example is one for future preservation and the discerning collector.
INTERIOR
Luxury, grace and opulence are in total abundance with this fully-loaded machine. Factory optional Grey Leather, (Code 218), at a cost of £1,900 when new is spotlessly clean and in keeping with the one owner pampered care bestowed on it. The ergonomically designed seats are supremely comfortable, and the optional electric memory function for both driver and passenger operate seamlessly. All Maple Wood trim and other leather finishing and switchgear are pristine. The carpets have been protected by genuine Mercedes carpet mats from new and the first aid kit remains unopened. The dealer supplied tax disc holder and rear window sticker are still affixed. All controls operate exactly as they should including the optional automatic climate control. Inside the immaculate boot area is the original warning triangle, complete tool roll, and jack all unused. This is the ultimate modern classic and executive sports saloon.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The six-cylinder Mercedes inline Commonrail 320CDI 24v engine of 3226cc displacement produces 194bhp and an incredible maximum 470Nm torque to achieve a top speed of 141mph and 0-62.5mph in just 8.3 seconds. The immaculate engine bay remains exactly as Mercedes-Benz intended and displays factory plates, stickers and panel stampings all spotlessly clean. The 5-speed automatic transmission with Speedtronic cruise control offers effortless cruising capabilities, perfectly matched to the powerful torque endowed engine.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Desirable and expensive factory upgraded AMG single piece 18in alloy wheels with a diamond finish outer rim are in excellent order with one small mark to the front offside. Factory fitted and matching Michelin Pilot SX 265/35 ZR18 rear and 235/40 ZR18 are perfect for the show circuit but should be changed if regular use is intended. The anti-lock braking system with Brake Assist offers hugely positive stopping power to install complete peace of mind.
HISTORY FILE
What an incredible documented story! First registered on the 2nd March 2000 and supplied by Main Dealer, Lancaster Ipswich, this example has covered only 17,921 miles from new with just one owner, Mr Hallen. Mr Hallen first ordered an E240 Avantgarde from the same dealer in April 1999 with an accompanying invoice for £37,454. On arrival in June 1999 he was shocked to discover his new car did not meet his high expectations due to a paint imperfection and the dealer agreed to make good the issue. Still not satisfied with the repair, written correspondence confirms the dealer agreed to buy back his car at full purchase price and upgrade at cost to the new facelift E320CDI when it arrived the following year! Mr Hallen agreed and reordered, albeit with a higher specification, and was delighted with his new car enough so to cherish it for the next 24 years!
A history file containing all service invoices, previous MOT certificates and documents are neatly filed in chronological order. A complete book pack in a pristine Mercedes black leather wallet still with Mercedes pen is included. A full set of keys are present with dealer leather key fobs. The vehicle has just had a full service in February 2024 using genuine Mercedes parts and oil. Quite possibly, the finest W210 specimen in existence.
HPI Clear.
