Representing the final evolution of Mercedes-Benz’s over-engineered era, the W124 remains one of the most respected executive saloons of its time. Renowned for its build quality, timeless design, and effortless cruising capability, it embodies the marque’s pursuit of understated excellence.

This particular example is a 1994 Mercedes-Benz E280, tastefully backdated with the elegant styling cues of the earlier pre-facelift models. Finished in a classic shade of beige, the paintwork pairs seamlessly with its matching beige MB-Tex interior—durable, inviting, and accented by period-correct wood trims.

Power comes from the 2.8-litre M104 inline-six, Mercedes’ multi-valve masterpiece of the era—smooth, refined, and delivering a confident wave of torque through a well-matched automatic transmission.

Combining the robustness of later mechanical improvements with the charm of its earlier design language, this W124 E280 offers the best of both worlds. A discerning choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike, it stands as a dignified reminder of when Mercedes-Benz built cars to outlast generations.
