1991 Mercedes W124 300TD Estate - NOW SOLD

What a cool car. These have aged so well and are timeless classics. And as they say, built like a bank vault.

Will get some better photos up this evening.
Apologies for the slow reply, but i've been out of the country with work...

T doesn’t mean turbo on these, it’s ‘touring’ (estate).

The 280TE petrol, for example, is not a turbo engine

Just realised it needs a hoover after looking at the photos!

What Dave said.

Prior to 1994, where after, the W124 became the E Class, the nomenclature was fairly standard.

So, taking a 300E and a 300D

-Estate : Gained a T for Tourer, so you had a 300TE and a 300TD
-Coupe : C for Coupe or Convertible, so a 300CE, or a 300CD

Or whatever T or C meant in German

If you had a Turbo diesel, an estate would then be called a 300TD Turbo. They're unofficially known as 300TDTs to some. They did do a 300D 2.5 Turbo in some markets, but let's not go there, for simplicity.

As another thing, Merc never offically sold W124 Turbo Diesels in RHD markets, due to the the turbo being where the steering box would be (I read that as they couldn't be bothered to cater for a small market). But unofficial conversions were done.

After 1994, the W124 became the E class. So a 280(T)E became an E280 ("Estate") using the example as above. 300Ds became the E300 Diesel. The 'Tourer/Coupe' reference was dropped from the name on the tailgate.

There were folks thinking BMW were confusing with their tailgate badges.

Anyway, to the OP, I hope this sells well. I used to love these, and have owned 4 x124s (a 300D, 250D manual, E320 Estate 5 Speed Sportline and lastly a 230TE). Best of luck with the sale.
