The W124 is a mid-sized vehicle platform with German high levels of engineering and build quality, allowing coverage of high mileage with well-renowned reliability. 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 coefficients of drag (Cd) of any vehicle of the time due to its aerodynamic body, which included plastic moulding for the undercarriage to streamline airflow beneath the car, 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. The station wagon came with a 'neighbour-friendly' rear door that was pulled in the shut position silently and automatically by a sensor-controlled servomotor.

‘H742 TKU’ was manufactured in 1991 and was supplied new to the United Kingdom, being road registered on the 19th February that year. Finished in the striking and rare colour of Almandine Red paintwork with Cream and Beige cloth interior upholstery and burred walnut veneers, the 260 E was specified new with an electric sunroof, paintwork preservation, headlamp cleaning equipment, heated rear window, folding front armrest, and a leather steering wheel and gear selector. Offered with a modest 107,000 miles on the odometer, the Mercedes-Benz has done this in the hands of just two former keepers. Due to have a fresh MOT certificate in time for the sale and will be driven to the auction, the 260E is rated by the vendor as having ‘very good’ bodywork, paintwork, engine, and gearbox, as well as being ‘good’ in regard to electrical equipment and interior trim. A refined and practical modern classic saloon that will no doubt make a great entry level classic, and temptingly is being offered without reserve.
