1996 Mercedes-Benz W124 E320 Sportline Cabriolet | London

A 1996 Mercedes-Benz W124 E320 Sportline Cabriolet, the four-seat open-top version of the W124 range. It is known for its solid, unhurried manner: the body was heavily reinforced when the coupé roof gave way to a folding soft top. The 3.2-litre straight-six gives smooth, relaxed pace, and the Sportline package adds a lower, firmer stance. This car is Blue with a Cream interior, a soft, warm pairing in daylight. With the roof folded, all four seats show clearly, so the cream cabin reads well from every angle. The lowered Sportline look gives the car a planted profile from the side. Photography and editorial shoots suit that open cabin and clean 1990s Mercedes shape. Film and TV scenes set in the decade get a period German cabriolet, and music videos and advertising can use its roof-down presence on location. Weddings and personal hires work well too. The car is based in London.
