Should You Buy A 91 W124 Mercedes 230CE? | W124 MB 230CE Review | Walkaround | UK | 1991 MB

[@joebutlersnr7017]

Not designed by engineers , it was by the great Bruno Sacco.

[@tariqtvproductions]

MB need to hire him and go back to being a proper Merc. Not the hp junk they sell now available to the masses!

[@alexanderfirmin9792]

Fabulous video. Baz is a legend. Loved it!

[@tariqtvproductions]

Yeah he's a nice guy. Please check out my other car reviews with Baz have a Jaguar XJ40 sovereign and xj8 (2 full reviews and couple of shorts too). 🙂

[@newbeginnings8566]

Beautiful car and a perfect choice of colours

[@jayjuggrnaut]

Beautiful car. From the (lack of) wear and tear you'd never guess that it was 160k+ miles.

[@tariqtvproductions]

Yeah these models age really well if maintained properly. They don't make them like this anymore! 🙂

[@LesterLovesWatches]

The E used to be for "Einspritzung" (fuel-injection) on the W123 cars, 280E etc. With the W124s, after 1993 the E moved to the start of the designation, E230 for example, and here I suppose it stands for Executive, and started the identity of the E class.

[@tariqtvproductions]

Thanks :)

[@monk3yboy69]

@Lester No, it never meant Executive. As you point out , the E moved to the front of the engine size in 1993 and that was officially the start of the E Class series. I remember the campaign and the launch ( huge fan as a teen at the time).

[@tariqtvproductions]

@@monk3yboy69 these w124 mercs and E34 bmw 5 series were fierce rivals back then in the 90's golden era (for bmw after 93/94 mercedes went downhill)

[@joebutlersnr7017]

@@tariqtvproductions the w124 is the saloon the coupe is actually the c124 and these were the first models to be called the E class , I have the c124 E320 facelift and yes these cars are a joy to own and drive also easy to work on with no computers thank God.

[@tariqtvproductions]

@@joebutlersnr7017 too many computers cause too many problems! Love classic mercs they were built to last!

[@21stcenturyozman20]

Correct MB designations: W = sedan; V = long-wheelbase saloon; C = coupé; A = cabriolet; S = estate; R = roadster - so the car featured is a C124, not a W124.

[@tariqtvproductions]

Thanks. Love these old school mercs. The build quality was second to non. I'd like to compare a Rolls Royce of the time to see how they compare!

[@21stcenturyozman20]

@@tariqtvproductions In the mid-70s I owned a '64 S3 Bentley (a Cloud III Royce with a different grille) - the last of a long string of English cars I'd owned. Sure, it was an impressive chariot, and the interior was something the Germans couldn't equal at the time (especially that Connolly leather), but I replaced it with a W108 Benz and have never looked back. I've owned at least one example of every S-Klasse Benz from 1955 to 1994 (a total of 17) as well as one W124 and two W201s. Not at all interested in any car built after 1990; I can't fix them with basic mechanic's tools and have no interest in driving a computer on wheels.

[@tariqtvproductions]

@@21stcenturyozman20 wow it sounds like you have an interesting car history! Please check out my other car reviews might have something of interest to you 🙂

[@21stcenturyozman20]

I shall do that. :-) Over my life (72 years) I've owned 72 cars: British, American, Japanese, French, Italian, German, Australian … including some interesting clunkers. Only one did I buy new: an Australian Holden Monaro GTS (HG series); it was the most disappointing PoS I've ever owned. It was from the last production run of the series and was certainly built on a Friday. At its 1,000 mile first service I presented the dealer with a list of 48 issues. Only two were fixed by the fourth service (8,000 miles) so I left it parked across the dealership's main entrance, locked, with "lemon" written all over the metallic paintwork with toothpaste. I dropped the keys down a stormwater grate and walked away, still owing 80% of the bomb's cost, which I never paid off.

[@tariqtvproductions]

@@21stcenturyozman20 wow wonder what that did to their sales?! lots of different cars! Which ones have been your favourite ones which really stand out? Baz loves the American cars especially the 57 Chevy but they're really expensive now gone up in price!

Nice Color.My Sedan has the Same.😍😅

[@leschelsey2441]

The rear head rests normally go down when you reverse.

[@ORGANIZACIONUAH12]

I would say that there is a buttom in the middle of the dashboard to perform that operation manually

[@ianworley8169]

Not just for reversing. Really just to improve rear visibility when there's no-one in the back seats. A standard feature on older Mercs. My CLK 320 had the same. Beautiful car though. I'm currently looking at W124's and W201s here in Portugal, but my wife wants an estate for the dogs. W124 Estate it is then.

[@tariqtvproductions]

W124 estate is a timeless classic!

[@AnonFT888]

Lovely Motor.

[@tariqtvproductions]

Yeah definitely!

[@MegaDAli95]

Do they come in manual transmission? Where can I get one? Timeless design

[@tariqtvproductions]

Yeah they do come in manuals but Mercedes make some of the best automatic gearboxes in the world! In terms of where to find one, check your usual websites autotrader, car and classic and Mercedes forums are a good place to potentially find a cherished one

[@ROCKINGHEADLIGHTS]

W124 😍

Yeah they're nice cars these retro Mercs 🙂

Nope thats not w124 that c124 that one is coupe and w124 is sedan s124 is wagon and a124 is cabriolet and t124 is limo
