The E320 Cabriolet is reputed to be the last hand-built Mercedes-Benz produced. The history of the E320 dates back to the 280 SE Cabriolet. Today the 280 is highly sought after and priced well into the 6-digit range. Our fantastic example comes from a local South Florida family.

The beauty and unique details of the E320 is unmatched. This car is incredibly special, because it was built by hand, in very limited numbers. It has bells and whistles that were extremely advanced in 1995, such as heated seats, dual airbags, a luxurious interior and a stereo system with CD/tape/AM-FM/weather.

To most people who see this car, that it is a very boring design, especially for a convertible. No filigree, just straight lines. Very plain. That’s what I one can appreciate about this car. Drop the top and it’s just straight, no curves, just a long deck to the end of the car. Like you took a blowtorch to a sedan and cut the roof off. Simple and clean.

The w124 is the whole package. It is a wonderful driver’s car, truly a GTC (Grand Touring Convertible). The seats are so comfortable, the engine so smooth, the suspension so plush. I One can just go and go and go in this car. The engine is very eager too. It just wants to go faster and faster. Wonderful!

Now back in 1995 this was an $90,000 car. This car cost MORE than a Porsche 993. According to Mercedes in “Mercedes-Benz 124 series: An automotive milestone becomes a Young Classic” (dated Oct. 26, 2009) they sold only 6,343 cabriolets (3,000 coming to the USA) and were rumored to have lost money on every one of them due to high engineering costs.
