The seller offers for sale this 1992 Mercedes-Benz 300 E-24, powered by a 3.0-litre 24-valve six-cylinder engine, paired with a manual transmission. This example has remained in Spain from new and has had only two owners, accompanied by all its original books and documented maintenance. The car has never been restored and has covered 220,463 km, with everything on board reported by the seller to be in working order. The combination of the sporty 24-valve engine with a manual gearbox makes this a particularly rare configuration that is seldom offered for sale.

The 300 E-24 belongs to the W124 series, a model line widely regarded as one of the finest saloons Mercedes-Benz has ever engineered. Introduced in 1984, the W124 set new standards in build quality, aerodynamics and passive safety, and its reputation for durability remains unmatched to this day. The 24-valve variant arrived in 1989, bringing the four-valve-per-cylinder M104 development of the classic inline-six with a sportier character, sharper throttle response and a distinctly more eager top end, which is why enthusiasts often describe it as the driver’s choice among the six-cylinder W124s.

For collectors, an unrestored, two-owner example with complete documentation represents the most desirable starting point. This car offers the increasingly rare opportunity to acquire an honest, original W124 in its most engaging six-cylinder form, with the manual gearbox adding further rarity and appeal. As a well-documented example of Mercedes-Benz engineering at its peak, it makes a compelling addition to any collection while remaining perfectly usable for regular enjoyment.
