Mercedes-Benz E-Klasse - Die Baureihe 124 1984-1994

The Mercedes-Benz W 124 was the last real mid-range Mercedes before its successors, the E-Class, broke with the previous style and size. The W 124 also differed from its predecessors: it was the reaction to a new trend towards sobriety in the face of the oil crisis, increased safety concerns and a more critical attitude towards the car itself.

With this book, Mercedes expert Günter Engelen presents a highly informative and excellently illustrated documentation of the popular series: engines, equipment and model updates of the young classic as a sedan, station wagon, coupé and convertible.
