The cabrio is the most highly desired and most sought after and most cherished of the entire W124 line.


In europe you could buy a new W124 E220 6 cylinder, with a MANUAL TRANSMSSION.

Barry Taylor nabbed one in Austria, a rare white one, for a US customer, that wanted it imported here, about 7-8 years ago, I saw the pictures of it taken where he found it.

Almost all of them are highly sought after and beautifully taken care of.

Their prices reflect that, as does their rarity, and undisputed old school last of the E class Mecedes Benz ones with true German build quality.
I do agree they look good with the top up. I'm not a fan of driving with the top down, who wants to get bird poop on them or sunburn? I'd probably do it occasionally if I had an SL or something, but I'd rather have an SEC. I'm a hard-top man.

That is one CLEAN car though, and I love cars that clean.
