Mercedes Benz E 420 W124 Fittipaldi Équipé - Available for inspection by appointment.Private collection car, perfect and unrestored original. Dark Blue with light grey interior. additional pictures availableThis is the opportunity to have a Mercedes V8 that is more exclusive than the desirable Mercedes E 500 or the AMG versions from the 90s at half the price.This Mercedes E 420 in exceptional condition was destined to a private collection in Europe and shows less than 60,000 miles on the odometer (believed to have around 60,000 since odometer was not working at purchase), which is in line with the general condition of the car which maintains the original paint and interior in perfect condition. Recently the top German automotive publication, Auto Motor & Sport reported that the Mercedes Benz W124, the new collector cars favorite, scored 110% value increase over the past 8 years. (attached*)Over US$10,000 (invoices available) was recently invested in the maintenance of this vehicle including brakes, suspension, engine, filters, electrical and rubber parts and general aesthetics to make it work and drive as it should. As the pictures show the untouched undercarriage is in pristine conditions with no signs of rust, welding, repairs or services keeping an original “time capsule” condition.Keeping the tradition of the exclusive Fittipaldi Équipé models alive, this example was developed based on a 1994 Mercedes Benz E 420 using only new authentic components, NOS (New Old Stock), in addition to parts supplied by traditional suppliers of Fittipaldi Motoring Accessories around the world. The car comes with two suspension height alternatives, the Fittipaldi low style with Eibach springs and a cruise style height similar to what Daimler Benz homologated for the E 500 series. At the time, most Mercedes Fittipaldi Équipé were black, gray and silver, with this example being one of few if not the only dark blue with a gray leather interior, which makes it even rarer. In addition to the unique handmade steering wheel with airbag and all the logos and identification plate displaying the authentic serial number, this car has a sophisticated anti-radar detector installed, which was a highly desired option at the time. Sun roof, Electric adjustable seat, Mercedes original garage remote command, speed control, and top of the line original Becker radio, all in working condition complete this one-of-a-kind automobile. Besides of the desirable Fittipaldi Équipé style wheels with brand new Bridgestone tires, the sale includes the original Mercedes Benz wheels, also with low usage tires. Also the car has all original Fittipaldi Équipé logos, original light grey floor mats with Fittipaldi embroidery, super exclusive door cup holders (to attend the US customer requirements), factory top light grey all leather option and the high polished factory real burl wood finish. The very rare steering wheel was a top option in the nineties. Manufactured in Europe at a price over $3,200 Dollars, at the time it was the only Sport Steering Wheel option that preserved the original air bag adding grip shapes originally developed for racingIn the 80s and 90s, Fittipaldi Équipé developed, together with its European suppliers, wheels with exclusive measurements and designs that unfortunately do not meet current standards. Therefore, this car is equipped with new wheels and tires that follow the look of the time. The recently completed inspection and service included brake pads, all filters, fluids, spark-plugs and wires essentially parts that aged and could compromise the perfect performance of the car.

As production was limited, owners of special Fittipaldi Équipé cars had priority to acquire the watch.This pre-production model offered here corresponds to number 00000 with original leather strap and buckle. This is the model developed by the factory for approval, and has the external box already with the Fittipaldi Équipé logo, in addition to an internal case in water buffalo leather also with the Fittipaldi logos engraved.
