The durability and solidity of the W124 means that, even 35 years after this one left the line, it remains perfectly usable as a daily driver.
Its torquey 3litre straight six, one of Mercedes-Benz’ greatest engines, digs into that idea, as does the appealing condition and specification. It is an early pre-facelift car too, which provides a more durable wiring loom.
With good history and a long MOT, this smart W124 is ready for daily commuting or perhaps a stylish road trip.
