This 1992 Mercedes-Benz 300CE-24 Cabriolet 5-Speed Manual was initially sold for the Italian market with a July of 1992 build date. Finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) over Black Leather (261), power is provided by a 3.0-liter 24-valve M104 inline-six paired to a five-speed Getrag manual transmission. Standard features include power windows, hydraulic power soft top, automatic seatbelt extending arms, power seats, power side mirrors, hydraulic powered roll bars, 290mm Sportline steering wheel, and automatic climate control. This example comes with a rare Getrag 5-speed manual gearbox. This A124 currently shows just under 144k kilometers (~89k miles) on the odometer and is offered by the selling dealer with a Belgian registration.
Finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) with contrasting gray lower body cladding, this cabriolet features a hydraulic power folding soft top, headlight washers with automatic wipers, fog lights, and factory heat insulating glass with heated rear glass in the fabric top. Original glass European headlights with amber corner lenses came standard as well as front quarter panel turn signals. Hydraulic power pop-up leather wrapped roll bars are mounted behind the rear passengers’ heads for rollover protection. Mercedes-Benz also strengthened the A-pillars for passenger safety. Black plastic impact strips line the front and rear bumpers and appear in good condition without any ashy finishes. The soft top does show some light wear in the fabric which is pointed out by the seller in the gallery.
Refurbished 15” 8-hole alloy wheels are mounted on all four corners with Astral Silver matching center caps and new lug bolts. The seller mentiones the Dunlop Sport BluResponse tires are new and measure 195/65. The wheels have been refinished in preparation for the sale. ABS was standard as well as four wheel disc brakes with new brake calipers.
The cabin is trimmed in Black Leather (261) across the seats, door cards, armrest, and dashboard. Additional leather-trimmed features include the steering wheel and shift knob. All leather surfaces are reported to be original and nicely kept. The Black dashboard is free from cracks along with the door cards and rear headrests. The center console, dash, and doors are trimmed in original Burl Walnut wood and show some light scratches under harsh light. Power front seats are optioned in this example and a period-correct Blaupunkt cassette head unit has replaced the original Becker.
Framed by a 390mm Sportline leather wrapped steering wheel, the analog odometer shows just under 144k kilometers (89k miles). Instrumentation includes a 260-kph speedometer, a 8k-rpm tachometer with a 7,000-rpm redline, and an analog odometer with trip function. Additional gauges include fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure along with an analog clock and digital external temperature gauge.
The 3.0-liter 24v M104 inline-six was rated for 220 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque when new. This car features the early M104 inline six known as the M104.980 which features a 7,000 RPM redline with a 10:1 compression ratio. A rare 5-speed Getrag manual gear box is bolted to the inline six. The seller has ensured a complete mechanical checkup has been performed and notes indications the head gasket has been replaced prior to acquisition.
This rare A124 currently shows just under 144k kilometers (89k miles) on the odometer and is offered by the selling dealer with a Belgian registration.
THe seller has included the following videos.
Honestly, an A124 doesn’t really get better than this other than diving into absurdly expensive AMG variants. This might be peak production Cabriolet. These 5-speed gearboxes are worth a small fortune on their own. We are also bigger fans of the Euro 104.980 engine over the bigger 3.2-liters as their design is derived from the 2.3 Cosworth motors. Who doesn’t love a 7k RPM redline and a gearbox that allows you to wring this engine out? The Sportline steering wheel is a lovely touch and was optioned from the factory for the first owner who was an Italian with exquisite tastes. Brilliant Silver on a 124 is striking and the black leather interiors are moody and don’t show wear. With low miles, new brakes, good wood, nice paint, this is a good buy that will appreciate. We’re seeing the A124s shoot up in value as people are understanding that these cars were expensive to engineer and build in the day. Coupled with already low production numbers, this example in this spec has to be one of the rarer S124s to hit hte market in a while.

@GoBoGo especially with a Sportline, anything over 16 inches rubs the fender wells front and rear. I did a lot of research to get the correct offset to go with 16/55/70 series Michelin Pilot Sports.$17,000 bid placed by @ferrari1971

Coincidently I have 1992 C124 300CE-24 Sportline also delivered new in Italy (Genoa) with a 5-speed Getrag. Love this car. The winner of this auction will love this very rare combination. My only advice is stay away from 18 inch wheels. I put 16’s on mine and sold the 18 inch AMG’s the came with the car.$6,025 bid placed by @davidsingh
@CaliforniaDream , yes a boat!$5,775 bid placed by @ferrari1971
if anybody needs something else from me, let me know. This is a very special (and rare) piece of Mercedes-Benz history. The Manual gearbox really brings the W124 alive! All maintenance is done, so its ready to be enjoyed once again.$5,525 bid placed by @Jens

@CaliforniaDream Thanks, looking forward to your update.@quantumorbit funny you mention the radio. I took these pictures about a month ago and in the meantime I sourced a (refurbished) Becker Grand Prix 2000 to finish of the car? There are several maintenance records with the car. However I can assure you we checked this car top to bottom and did all the work it needed. Just got a new fuel pressure regulator (bosch F 026 T03 007) When we purchased the car, we noticed the infamous headgasket leak. We took the head off, had it rebuilt and did some other things we saw in there (chain guides, thermostat, distributor cap, ..) for some reason that invoice did not show up in the gallery. In total we invested over 7.500 EUR in this car to get it in tip top shape again. I'll go out tomorrow and take some pictures of the underside - which looks as good as the rest of the car.@ferrari1971 Correct. If I'm correct I think on classic cars it's 2,5% import duties@CaliforniaDream, I'm interested , just trying to ascertain the total cost to the US? $3,350 plus what are the tariffs or duties any idea?Rare specimen, good luck with the auction. Please let me know if you have the original Becker Radio Mexico 2000, fire extinguisher, tool kit, jack, etc.. Also maintenance records, records showing millage is legit, owners manuals, inspection certificates (Keuringsbewijs) ? Very important to include underbody photos and the usual videos, walk arounds, driving, engine, etc..just checked: shipping to LA is 3350 USD Ocean Freight shipping to Miamia is 2750 USD Ocean Freight We can drop it off for free at the port.@ferrari1971 @Spottedcow I import a lot of cars from the US, so I'm very familiar with the procedure. I've shipped a couple of Land Rover Defenders during covid to the US as well. I used West Coast Shipping most of the time, but I've worked with Schumacher Cargo as well in the past. I'll ask for a quote, and happy to work with any shipping company/customer to help transport of this amazing car!@CaliforniaDream , what would you expect to pay for shipping to CA. Do you use Schumacher or CARS? Beautiful car!Can you assist with a shopper/ customs to USA? Thanks for the timeIf anyone has questions, don't hesitate to reach out!
