Mercedes-Benz 280 w124 E280 Estate 1995
Allgemeine Beschreibung :
Model History
W124 is the Mercedes-Benz internal chassis designation for the 1984-1996 version of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and was as the first generation to be officially referred to as E-Class. The W124 models replaced the W123 models after 1984 and were succeeded by the W210 E-Class after 1995.
Much of the 124's engineering and many of its features were advanced automotive technology at its introduction, incorporating innovations that have been adopted throughout the industry. It had one of the lowest drag coefficients of any vehicle of the time due to its aerodynamic body, that included plastic molding for the undercarriage to streamline airflow beneath the car, thus reducing fuel consumption and wind noise. It had a single windscreen wiper that had an eccentric mechanism at its base that extended the wiper's reach to the top corners of the windscreen (more than if it had traveled in a simple arc). The saloon, coupes, and convertibles had optional rear headrests that would fold down remotely to improve rearward visibility when required. This feature was not available for the T-model because of its specific layout (no space to store the retractable headrests), but the estate serially came with a "neighbour-friendly" rear door that was pulled in the shut-position silently and automatically by a sensor-controlled servomotor. This allowed the use of a tighter fitting rear gate, minimizing the cabin noise in the T-model, sometimes an area of concern for estate cars.
With the exception of the 200, fuel injection was standard and the engines incorporated features that maximised performance. The most notable feature was the addition of an oxygen sensor in the exhaust system which, in conjunction with a semi-electronic fuel injection system, could make the engine run more efficiently. This improved fuel consumption while simultaneously meeting stricter emission regulations. Mercedes-Benz's four-wheel drive system, the 4Matic was first introduced on the W124 in 1987.
The estate cars (chassis designation S124) came in five or seven-seat variants, the seven-seater having a rear-facing bench seat that folded flush into the luggage compartment floor. The S124 estate continued in production alongside the new W210 until the S210 estate launched more than a year later.

Exterior
Presented in smart Blue-Black Metallic paintwork accented by Alto Grey lower trim, this 124 estate presents very nicely with a deep lustful shine to the upper paintwork. On closer inspection all panels are exceptionally straight with good panel gaps to be found with only a few light stone chips to the front end and a couple on the edge of the driver’s door. Both front and rear bumpers are free from any significant scuffs or damage and all the plastic and rubber trims are excellent, the only negative to report being a little corrosion on the nearside rear quarter window trim. Having covered just 100k miles and previously being imported from a dry climate the underside of the car is excellent with no signs of corrosion or previous repairs.

Interior
The interior space is also in fine fettle, reflecting the car’s modest mileage. The cloth seats are a very comfortable place to sit and show no signs of wear and tear. Stylish Zebrano wood trim is laced throughout the cabin and, other than a very small crack in the lacquer near the window switches, remains excellent with all the switchgear still feeling solid to operate. A modern Pioneer stereo is currently fitted but the original Mercedes unit is included. The carpets also remain in excellent condition and are protected by the original Mercedes overmats in the footwells. Within the vast boot space you will find the spare wheel and folding rear bench seat.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The E-class is powered by a Mercedes-Benz 2.8-litre straight-six engine, providing silky smooth performance throughout the rev range. Beneath the bonnet the engine bay is very clean and original with absolutely no signs of corrosion to be found. On test the 4-speed automatic gearbox feels smooth and seamless to operate, pulling through the gears with ease. The gearbox was replaced 2017 at 75k miles and the car had a new exhaust this year. The current owner has had the car in regular use over the past 5 years and it has been maintained to an excellent standard.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The Mercedes sits on its factory set of 15-inch 8-hole alloy wheels, all of which are in fine order with only a few blemishes to note; they are shod in Dunlop tyres all round. Within the boot space you will find the original spare alloy wheel. The brakes feel strong after a full overhaul at John Haynes Mercedes in 2020 and do an excellent job of pulling the car up quickly in a straight line.
History File
This low mileage W124 was first registered in July 1995. Spending its life on the salt-free roads of Japan up until 2016, the underside has never been allowed to rust. This corrosion-free example is complemented by an excellent maintenance record, which is detailed below. A replacement gearbox was installed in August 2017 at renowned Mercedes-Benz specialist, SS Motors. The history file is complete with the Mercedes document holder, dealer-supplied manuals, the service booklet, and an original E-Class sales brochure.25/07/1995 at delivery miles – pre-delivery inspection22/08/1995 at 1,365 miles07/08/1996 at 6,370 miles27/08/1997 at 12,249 miles15/07/1998 at 17,228 miles24/06/1999 at 20,804 miles26/07/2000 at 25,839 miles11/07/2002 at 30,874 miles29/06/2003 at 35,048 miles22/07/2004 at 39,361 miles13/12/2005 at 40,935 miles30/07/2006 at 41,489 miles17/05/2012 at 53,797 miles22/04/2013 at 60,855 miles08/08/2016 at 66,797 miles25/08/2017 at 75,060 miles – replacement gearbox23/08/2018 at 76,805 miles20/05/2019 at 83,517 miles 23/01/2020 at 90,900 miles02/09/2020 at 93,451 miles05/04/2022 at 100,600 miles

über Mercedes-Benz
In den Annalen der Automobilgeschichte entfaltet sich die Reise von Mercedes-Benz wie eine Erzählung voller Ingeniosität seiner Gründer. Im Jahr 1886 schuf Karl Benz den Benz Patent Motorwagen, eine Kreation, die als das weltweit erste Automobil in die Geschichte eingehen sollte. Unwissentlich markierte dieser Moment den Ursprung dessen, was sich zu einem weltweit renommierten Premium-Autohersteller entwickeln würde. Die finanzielle Basis dieses bahnbrechenden Unternehmens wurde interessanterweise von Karls Ehefrau, Bertha Benz, bereitgestellt, was eine bemerkenswerte Partnerschaft demonstrierte, die den Ton für das Erbe von Mercedes-Benz setzen sollte.Nicht weit entfernt entstand eine parallele Erzählung, als die Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft, gegründet von Gottlieb Daimler und Wilhelm Maybach, die Bühne betrat. Im Jahr 1901 enthüllten sie ihr Auto unter dem mittlerweile berühmten Namen "Mercedes", was auf Spanisch "Geschenk Gottes" bedeutet. Dieser Name wurde auf das Auto auf Wunsch von Emil Jellineks Tochter verliehen, dem Vertriebspartner der Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft. Die Räder der Innovation wurden in Bewegung gesetzt.
Springen wir vorwärts ins Jahr 1926, ein entscheidendes Jahr, das die Fusion von Daimler mit Benz & Cie. sah, was zur Geburt von Daimler-Benz führte. Die Fusion führte zur Übernahme von "Mercedes-Benz" als das renommierte Markenzeichen für ihre Automobile und verschmolz die Legenden zweier visionärer Unternehmen zu einer.
Entgegen konservativen Wahrnehmungen entfaltet sich die Geschichte von Daimler-Benz als Chronik von Branchenneuheiten. Von der Einführung des Wabenkühlers über den Schwimmervergaser bis zur bahnbrechenden Einführung von Vierradbremsen im Jahr 1924 trieb Daimler-Benz kontinuierlich die Grenzen der automobilen Innovation voran. Der Dieselantrieb des Mercedes-Benz 260 D im Jahr 1936 markierte den Beginn von Dieselmotoren in Personenkraftwagen. Der ikonische Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing schrieb Geschichte als das erste Auto mit direkter Kraftstoffeinspritzung, wenn auch der winzige 2-Takt-Motor des Gutbrod Vorrang beanspruchen kann.
Sicherheitsinnovationen wurden zum Markenzeichen, mit Béla Barényis patentiertem Sicherheitszellen-Design in den "Ponton"-Modellen im Jahr 1951, das Front- und Heck-Knautschzonen umfasste. Der W116 450SEL 6.9 führte die Einführung des Antiblockiersystems (ABS) ein, eine weitere wegweisende Sicherheitsfunktion. Vom ersten serienmäßigen Airbag bis hin zu vielen weiteren Innovationen wurde das Erbe der "Ersten" weiter in das Gewebe von Daimler-Benz eingeschrieben.
Auf seiner über hundertjährigen Reise hat Mercedes-Benz nicht nur Autos produziert, sondern automobile Ikonen geschaffen. Der SSKL, 710 SSK Trossi Roadster, 770K Grosser, 540K Spezial Roadster, 300SL Gullwing, W100 600 Pullman, W111 280SE 3.5 Flachkühler, W113 230SL Pagode, W109 300 SEL 6.3 und W201 2.3-16 Cosworth sind Zeugnisse des Engagements der Marke für Ingenieurkunst.
Die donnernden Silberpfeile, oder "Silberpfeile", darunter der W 25, W 125, W154, W165 und W196, schufen ein Erbe der Dominanz auf der Rennstrecke. Diese Maschinen waren nicht nur Autos; sie waren Ausdruck von Präzision, Geschwindigkeit und einem unbezwingbaren Geist, der die Konkurrenz im Staub zurückließ.
Während Mercedes-Benz in die Zukunft schreitet, tut es dies nicht nur als Automobilhersteller, sondern als Hüter eines Erbes, als Fackelträger der Innovation und als Leuchtturm automobiler Exzellenz. Der Weg in die Zukunft wird zweifellos die Fortsetzung der Verschmelzung von modernster Technologie, zeitlosem Design und dem unerschütterlichen Engagement für die Festlegung neuer Standards in der Welt der Automobile erleben.
