Mercedes-Benz 280 w124 E280 Estate 1995

Allmän beskrivning : 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
