    Unfortunately not, that belongs to a buddy of mine who has her lying up at the moment. Think he is selling it actually.

    Just got this from UK last weekend, it's a '94 Merc E300D (W124)
    Looking for a good one for a while, going well so far,
    it was a nice drive back from Leeds.

    Hope you don't mind if I put the photo up, some people can miss the thumbnail.
    Looks very nice, the color makes it very modern in my eyes.

    What a cracker of a car :eek:.

    I used to have good few of these. I prefer the kombiwagen, but the saloon is still great.
    This one in particular looks very nice and it has got the fantastic OM606 engine.
    Keep it original, look after it and enjoy it!

    BTW, is there anything that needs attention that you know of?

    Thanks for the comments.
    Everything works apart from the fuel gauge which isn't accurate.
    A job for the winter evenings...
    It's got 102k with a FSH, engine is spotless.
    I've always wanted a W123 or W124 and this is my first and I'm not disappointed.
    Lovely relaxed cruising machine and it feels as if it's made from granite!
    I have an E24 BMW which is a lovely drive but I would take out this first I think.
    Now to pay the VRT and the dreaded tax!

    Well wear, looks in excellent condition....one of the best mercs imo. My uncle had one, resprayed it etc., then bought a coupe version so decided to sell his saloon. The fella who bought it lost control a week later and wrote it off on a corner in rural west cork. My uncle was gutted....will never sell the coupe now!

    That Merc is just gorgeous! Looks like something you would see in a magazine. Will stand out from most of the rough as hell 300d's floating around!

    I have to say that for €4000 there is so much more out there that is sooooo much better than this uninteresting yoke! I just dont do old Brit bangers!

    Another 'sleeper' - twin Webers on the Holbay tuned 1725 in a standard looking body :cool:

    You could probably get big bucks in Iran for the engine to fit in a Hunter ( Peykan ) pickup
