Smile In praiise of the w124 e420

I have one for my daily driver that I got about two years ago and it's just sensational!

I bought a 1995 because it was the last year of them, and the last of the e class series built to a cost no object standard of excellence.

Plus the Bruno Sacco styling that looks perfect and iconic and can'tbe mistaken for anyting but a Mercedes Benz.

I have added 17"AMG monoblocks, a Lorinser rear spoiler, euro front blinkers, a euro trunk triangle ('WARNDRIEICKE") and a Remus e500 exhaust. Plus last year deleted the resonator and while in Stuttgart last year also purchased a factory skid plate (NLA in the US) from the Mercedes Benz dealer there. that I later arranged to be shipped home and is now on the car too. So I am all set now,and enjoying the car,modified exactly as I want it to be....

I have the feeling that the car will last forever.

The first owner told me that it was THE BEST car he has ever owned. He is about 60. He had told me he named it PENELOPE after the most faiithful woman in literature.

But to me it was the Red Plum....(color/license plate)

Now:

Pictures or it didn't happen!

ok:









Enjoy your ride.

Did you know the ONLY countries to ever receive the w124 e420 were the USA and Japan? Not even Germany got them........

Can you share a picture of yours with us?
