EXTERIOR
This opulent and grand Mercedes-Benz E240 Avantgarde is finished in glorious Brilliant Silver Metallic, (Code 744) and the condition is in entirely commensurate with the astonishingly low mileage. The stunning factory paintwork simply gleams with a bright gloss shine and impeccable uniform finish to this executive saloon. All factory fitted panels are pin straight and completely intact with no visible imperfections noted. All apertures and door shuts are squeaky clean. The beautifully made trim sections, chrome finishing’s and badges are pristine and the original Honeycomb Foil trim to the B and C-pillars is perfect. The imposing front grille and prominent Mercedes-Benz three-pointed star remind you of the makers legacy. The super-clean underside is quite incredible in total originality even down to paper labels and coloured PDI dabs still intact! Truly representative of a 6,669 miles example, garaged and cherished, this vehicle is one for future preservation.
INTERIOR
Luxury and opulence are in total abundance with this highly specified machine. Factory optional Designo Nappa Leather in Grey, (Code 218), is utterly perfect. The ergonomically designed seats are supremely comfortable, and the electric heating and memory functions operate seamlessly. Even the factory cellophane to the door entry strips have remained intact! All Birds-Eye Maple capping’s and other leather trim sections and switchgear are pristine, as is the Orion Grey headlining with no marks or sagging whatsoever. The functions and controls operate exactly as they should including the large screen for the factory upgraded COMMAND and APS audio and ice-cold climate control. Inside the huge immaculate boot area is the original warning triangle, complete tool roll, jack and luggage net. The unopened first aid kit is neatly stowed in the rear armrest and supplying dealer rear screen sticker, key fob and tax disc holder remain. An interior condition that has defied its 24 years of age.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The Mercedes V6 petrol engine of 2398cc displacement produces 170bhp at 5900rpm and maximum 225Nm torque to achieve a top speed of 134mph and 0-62 in 11.1 seconds. The pristine engine bay remains exactly as Mercedes Benz intended and displays factory plates, bright stickers and panel stampings. The 5-speed automatic transmission with Speedtronic cruise control offers effortless cruising capabilities, perfectly matched to smooth and whisper quiet engine.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Stunning Avantgarde five spoke style light alloy wheels with diamond cut finish are as new with pristine centre caps. Originality seekers and concours entrants will be delighted to see the factory fitted Continental tyres with masses of tread but should be replaced if regular use is planned. The anti-lock braking system with Brake Assist (BAS) offers hugely positive stopping power to install complete peace of mind.
HISTORY FILE
First registered on 13th April 2000 and supplied by Mercedes-Benz Main Dealer, T.C. Holt Ltd of Plymouth, this example has covered just 6,669 warranted miles. The car was first registered in joint names to Mr and Mrs Rendle who were the sole owners until January 2023 with one further keeper since, just two registered owners in total! Mr Rendle was so fastidious about this car that he would cancel an MOT or service appointment if rain was forecast! The Mercedes-Benz A5 document wallet holds the service book with factory build card and all handbooks, guides and dealership literature are present along with two Mercedes remote fobs. The most recent service was carried out at Mercedes-Benz of Peterborough in April 2024 whereby upon collecting the car, both the Service and Workshop Managers came out to exclaim just how amazingly well-preserved the car is. Indeed, the Workshop Manager stated he had not worked on one so clean since they were new!
Completing the history file are original sales brochure and folder of previous MOT certificates and main dealer invoices. There is also a print out from Mercedes-Benz South West documenting visits from 2000-2020 under the first owner for servicing, MOT and warranty work. Not to be confused with the usual offerings, this beautifully preserved factory original example is one for the collector or enthusiast seeking the absolute best.
