A true classic and beautifully preserved, two-owner 1994 Mercedes-Benz E320 Cabriolet, finished in glossy black with a tan interior, with only 68,109 miles. This exceptional convertible comes with notable provenance—originally owned by legendary music producer Jimmy Jam Harris, best known for his groundbreaking work with Prince and as a defining force in 1980s–90s R&B and pop. The current owner acquired the car directly from Harris.

Lovingly maintained and carefully stored, the vehicle has been driven only seasonally, averaging less than four months of use per year, and kept in a heated garage each winter. It remains in great condition with no visible body rust and a history of regular maintenance.

The engine starts immediately when ignition is turned, no unusual sounds when idling, and the vehicle runs/drives smoothly.  The tires are in very good condition.

Condition Notes:

  • The dashboard light is not currently functioning.

  • Small area of finish loss on the front hood, smaller than a dime.

  • Tear in the interior lining of the retractable roof at the center.

  • Light surface scratches and minor loss on the exterior of the roof.

  • Lug cover on passenger front wheel discolored, remaining wheels intact and very shiny with a strong mirror finish
