1995 W124 E300 manual 3.0d
Hi everyone, Iv just joined.

Looking for a bit of info on my merc!


Can anyone confirm for me that it is a supposedly quite a rare model?


1995 E300, RHD in manual, 3.0 diesel, non turbo


We was told they only ever came in auto, but this one was spec'd by the original owner to be manual (for better towing) and he brought it over to the UK from Germany, same owner from new until recent.


Factory fitted tow bar and hydraulic suspension to match, also quite rare apparently?


Iv not got a clue with Mercs so any info is welcomed ha!

Cheers,
Chaz

nope, not that rare at all. when i was in the market for an e class a few years ago, i looked at quite a few 124's like that with manual transmission. it was the 300 turbodiesel that never came to the UK.

Welcome to the forums...!!

it might be surprising how much different it will look with a good clean inside and out.

Hi Chaz, welcome to the forum :) During my working days I used to dispose of ex contract hire vehicles to the trade. Quite a few of that era E Class Mercs were exported to Malaysia albeit mostly E200, E230 and E260. We used to be able to recover another £4/5000 for them. The demand in Malaysia for them was for use as Taxi Cabs. Not so many E300's exported. However it did make them a fairly rare vehicle on the used car market back in the Nineties, but good for us. :)
