This is one of only 789 E220 cabriolets officially imported to the UK, and is even rarer than the numbers suggest by being specified with the most popular optional extras, whereas most E220s had a fairly basic spec. This desirable specification and the superb condition, plus the fact that it has had only one owner and has a very low mileage for its age, makes it a very sought-after car.

It was supplied new to its only owner, a lady from Hampstead Garden Suburb, London, by Lancaster Mercedes of Hertford, and was a gift from her husband. We have the original new car order form and sales invoice dated 30 March 1994 in the sum of £40,800. Her husband died some years ago and she has now reached an age where she has been advised to give up driving on medical grounds, so it is with great regret that she has parted with this treasured possession, on the condition that it goes to a good home where it will be looked after as she has cared for it.

The PDI and the first two services were carried out by the supplying dealer, and after that it went to a local independent BMW specialist or independent Mercedes specialist for servicing and any non-scheduled maintenance or repairs. The documentation is very comprehensive with a total of 15 stamps in the service book, for which we have 11 of the invoices. The average actual service interval has been just over 3,000 miles, as against the manufacturer's recommended 9,000, and most servicing has been done at regular annual intervals despite the low mileage covered, with no gap longer than 24 months. We also have many invoices for non-scheduled work and all except two of the old MoT certificates. We have just had it serviced, so it is ready for another 9,000 miles without scheduled attention.

The car looks gorgeous in its flawless metallic burgundy paintwork and black soft top, and the interior condition is just as good. It drives superbly, and feels like a new car on the road. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well specified E Class cabriolet in virtually as-new condition which will be admired wherever it goes.

We have commissioned a comprehensive mechanical check of the car by our independent Mercedes specialist. Any faults found have been remedied, and any scheduled maintenance has been carried out (see above). Invoices for this work will be supplied with the car, along with our own warranty, details of which can be supplied on request.
