Mercedes-Benz 300 w124 1992

Allmän beskrivning : Model History

W124 was 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.

Equipment

Smoke Silver Metallic paintwork, Beige chequered cloth upholstery, 4-Speed automatic transmission, 15-Hole alloy wheels, Electric tilt/slide sunroof, Leather steering wheel and gear selector knob, Front central armrest, Burr walnut interior trim, Electric windows front and rear, Heat-insulating glass all round, Headlamp wash/wipe, Power assisted steering, Blaupunkt cassette radio, Rearward facing seats, Outside temperature gauge, Retractable dog guard, Retractable rear load cover, Mudflaps front and rear.

Exterior

With only 111k miles covered in the last 29 years, this charming W124 estate remains in fine order throughout. The Smoke Silver paintwork retains a deep metallic shine and, while not entirely blemish-free, still presents to a great standard overall. With its period-correct amber indicators and lower panels in contrasting Shell Grey, the car retains that classic two-tone Mercedes look so typical of the era. All the lights are clear and free from any moisture damage, and the chrome throughout also presents really well with a deep shine to report on close inspection. Additionally, the underside is very solid having never required any welding repairs.

Interior

The beige cloth remains in excellent condition showing no signs of major use. The seat upholstery is free from any of the usual sagging or worn bolsters, and the front central armrest is also without any damage. The well-appointed cabin is laced with burr walnut trim and features an electric sunroof, electric windows, a Blaupunkt cassette radio, and comfortable seating for seven people. All the switchgear is pleasingly solid to operate and commonly worn items such as the steering wheel and gear knob still retain a nice textured feel. At the rear of the car the vast boot space houses the optional third row bench seat. When not in use, this row of seats folds down into the recess that otherwise serves as a footwell.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION

As a 300TE ‘24’ this top-of-the-line E-Class estate was factory-specified with the desirable 24v 3-litre straight-six. The engine bay remains clean and tidy with no signs of any corrosion or previous poor repair. Out on the road this 24v example is a real joy to drive, offering effortlessly smooth and refined performance whatever the pace.

The car has just returned from our trusted classic car specialists following a full vehicle health check and service. A couple of minor electrical items were picked up on inspection and of course these have now been rectified, the total for this work costing in excess of £1,200. A fresh MOT was also carried out for the new keeper’s peace of mind, which is valid until August 2022.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES

The original 15-hole alloys look great all round with only some expected age-related wear and light curb marking to report to each wheel. They are shod in a matching set of Michelin tyres, each one with plenty of tread left. The brakes have also been checked and remain in fine operational condition, stopping the car quickly and in a straight line.

History File

First registered in Jersey in January 1992, this 24v 300TE has now driven just 111k miles from new. The accompanying History File contains the original service booklet (stamped up to 90k miles), owner’s manuals and Blaupunkt operating instructions. The Jersey registration document shows the car to have had only 3 former keepers including 2 motor traders, meaning just 2 private owners in total.

Since arriving with us the Mercedes has received over £1,200 of preparation to include a full mechanical inspection, service, and MOT. Having only recently been imported from Jersey with all relevant taxes paid on arrival, the car will come fully UK-registered ready for its next custodian. All in all, a fine example of the coveted W124 Mercedes, ready to be driven and enjoyed for many years to come.
