1988 Mercedes-Benz 300CE W124 Coupe - White/Silver Two-Tone - 130,647km - Pillarless Coupe, 3.0L Inline-Six
2-Door Coupe | 3.0L M103 Inline-Six | 4-Speed Automatic | Rear Wheel Drive | 130,647km | 4 Seats
Description
The W124 coupe is the car that Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts keep coming back to. That pillarless design, where the windows drop flush and there is no B-pillar interrupting the glasshouse, was an engineering feat that Mercedes has never repeated. The 300CE was the gentleman's express of the range, pairing the smooth and reliable M103 3.0-litre inline-six with a body that still turns heads nearly four decades on. W124 coupes are on a clear upward trajectory in the collector market, recognised for their build quality, elegant proportions, and mechanical durability.
This example wears a distinctive two-tone paint scheme, white upper body over silver/champagne lower panels, which follows the factory character line beautifully. The paint holds reasonable gloss for its age, though there are minor scratches and chips, particularly around the rear right wheel arch. DTM-branded split-rim aftermarket alloy wheels have been fitted, giving the car a period-correct sporting look. Inside, the grey leather rear seats are in good condition with no tears, while the front seats are currently fitted with teal sheepskin seat covers. The centre console wood trim shows fading and wear. An aftermarket Jensen head unit replaces the original Becker radio. The engine bay is complete and original in layout, though cosmetically it would benefit from detailing. The bonnet insulation has deteriorated. The odometer reads 130,647km. One key is provided, along with South Australian import documentation confirming the vehicle was imported as a used vehicle in 2006.
Lloyds has set the price guide at $4,500 to $7,500 for this lot. W124 coupes in presentable condition regularly trade above this range, with clean examples on Bring a Trailer selling for US$19,750 as recently as November 2025. Even at the top of the guide, this pillarless coupe represents strong value for a car that is only going to get harder to find.
