This 1995 Mercedes-Benz E320 Cabriolet was initially sold in California and shows subsequent registration in Florida and currently Georgia. This two owner E320 Cabriolet was bought by the second and current owner in 1999 and has lived in the Marietta area since. The odometer shows just under 78k original miles from new. Finished in Black (040) over Beige Leather (265), power is provided by a 3.2-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Equipment includes heated and power-adjustable front seats with memory, a power-operated black soft top, power mirrors, cruise control, a driver and passenger airbag, central locking, and a factory Becker head unit. The included Carfax report shows 7 service hits and no accident damage. Big service items are a new front driver window regulator, top hydraulics, battery, head gasket, control arms, steering refresh, and wiring harnesses. This E320 Cabriolet is now offered for sale by the selling dealer on consignment out of Marietta, Georgia with a first aid kit, service records, one key, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Georgia title.
The exterior is finished in Black (040) with matching Black lower body cladding and a chrome belt line. Features include a hydraulically-operated black fabric soft top with an electrically heated rear window. The top is in good condition and has recently been replaced with no rips or tears and had new top hydraulics replaced in 2014. Exterior equipment includes headlamp wiper/washers, central locking, an automatic antenna, heated and power-adjustable door mirrors, and a pop-up leather wrapped roll bar. The rear bumper shows a small impact and paint flaking off which is detailed in the exterior walkaround portion of the video. The front bumper also shows scrapes with a crack on the valence in the lower driver corner shown in the gallery. Glass is original to the car and paint meter readings are provided by the seller. All windows do work as shown in the video.
This example is mounted with painted 15” 8-hole aftermarket wheels wearing Michelin Defender tires with 2016 date codes on all four corners. Some wheels show light curb rash. The A124 came standard with ABS. The underside video showcases new steering damper, tie rods, center drag link, lower control arms, and healthy flex discs. Rear brakes were done at 69k miles.
The cabin is upholstered in Beige Leather (265) and features matching beige carpets and Burl Walnut wood trim which lines the center console, dashboard and door panels. There are some cracks in the veneer around the shifter bezel and some sun damage. Both front seats are heated and power operated with memory and show some wear. Interior appointments include automatic climate control, functional cruise control, a passenger and driver airbag, automatic seat belt presenters of which do not operate, and a factory head unit which requires a radio code. Lloyds custom floor mats have been installed throughout the cabin in preparation for the sale.
The four spoke steering wheel frames analog instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature and oil pressure. A digital outside temperature sensor can be found mounted below. The six-digit odometer shows just under 78k miles from new. White dots are present on the black ABS plastic inside of the instrument cluster, but the needles present a dark orange. The steering wheel leather is cracked and the telescoping steering wheel functions as intended.
This A124 is powered by a 3.2-liter DOHC inline-six which produces 217 horsepower and 229 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The included Carfax report shows 7 service history records along with physical service invoices. The magnesium valve cover shows no exterior bubbling or disintegration. The seller states this M104 engine has had both upper and lower engine wiring harness replaced as proven by the inspection video. Although there is no service invoice for the head gasket, earlier invoices note a leak at the rear passenger side of the block. The inspection video shows a freshly milled cylinder head, no leaks, bright aluminum cylinder head meaning it was cleaned by a cylinder head shop, and the front timing cover shows no leakage at the plate or mustache seal. A head gasket has been replaced in recent years. The driving video shows a smooth transmission and healthy engine.

The seller has inlcuded the following videos:
Out of the 2,727,860 W124s built over its production run, only 12,229 cabriolets were produced with a $79,000 MSRP new which is $170,000 today. Keep in mind a 1995 SL500 cost $90,000. These A124s were heavily modified saloons with a shortened wheel base, extra structural additions, chopped windshields/A-pillars, and of course different doors and quarter panels. Even the roll bars were leather stitched and the M104 in-line six was an expensive engine to build. It is a car that would never be made today by the brand, which makes these extra special to Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts. This E320 Cabriolet sports a new top, very recent suspension refresh, new hydraulic rams, head gasket replacement, and new wiring harnesses making it an enticing buy for A124 fans. GAHH provides OE quality seat covers if you want to refinish the seats or you can just slap on period correct beige sheep skin overs on top and let it roll. This Cabriolet offers so many more miles of enjoyment and the 040 Black painted lower cladding updates the overall look of the car. We think some Monoblocks and amber corner lights would go a long way on this example.

The A124 suspension and some cabrio-specific features were developed by Porsche. The whole project to bring out a luxury true 4 seater after a 20 year gap was top secret so they delivered it at Weissach (Porsche R&D) using 30 Porsche staff working alongside the Mercedes engineers. The project manager worked for MB and Porsche at the time so it all made sense. Unlike the 500E, Porsche had no role in manufacturing the A124 but it leveraged their expertise and it was partly this collaboration that led to Porsche’s work on the 500E. The A124 project kicked off in about 1986 to create a convertible version of the 190. Three prototypes were made and destroyed in crash tests. It became clear that the 190 chassis was too small to have the active rollover protection, true 4 seat legroom, and a usable boot. Plus by the time the cabrio was launched, the 190 chassis would be near the end of its life. So, Mercedes decided to jump in with both feet and make a more luxurious, bigger and impeccably built 4 seater grand tourer to eclipse any other cabrio. Mercedes asked for a cabrio as stiff as a saloon and while it didn’t get that far, it came close. The A pillars were reinforced with lead balancing weights and custom vibration dampeners were invented for the windscreen frame, under the engine, in the engine bay, and two more in the trunk. Extensive stiffening under the car and inside the dashboard, with over 1000 parts different to the coupe due to reinforcement, minimised scuttle shake. I will have other cars come and go but my A124 is my forever car and I hope this one gives you as much joy as mine has given to me.Very clean car, great buyVery excited! I hadn't planned on buying a car today but this looks like a gem!Thanks to everyone for making this an exciting and clean auction. Always a pleasure selling on @thembmarket. @skip47 Congrats!

Good looking cabriolet here, GLWTA. To the MB Market Insights, I have to share a clarification: Of the 2.7million W124 produced for global consumption, 12,229 were the cabriolets equipped with the 3.2L engine (which includes the 1993 320CE (badged as 300CE's in the US) and the 1994 and later E320s). In total, 33,952 cabriolets were produced for global sale, which includes the initial 3.0L 6 cylinder as well as the 2.0 and 2.2L 4 cylinders (none of which were ever imported into the US). I think the better production figure is 6,140, which are how many cabriolets that were imported into the US over 3 model years (1993-1995). Of those, 5,374 were of the facelifted design for 1994 and 1995 model year. Indeed rare, anywhere including in the US.$250 bid placed by @phcook
