Car articles about Mercedes-Benz 280 TE by year
In the seventies and eighties, the Mercedes W123 model series was an integral part of the everyday street scene. In addition to private individuals, its regular customers included cab drivers, who appreciated the comfort, reliability and durability of what was then the most successful model series. Today, the W123 is a popular classic, but there are no longer many of them in our part of the world, as some have been exported and are used as cabs or limousines abroad.
Over 35 years ago, Mercedes presented the S-Class of the W 126 series, the superlative saloon that was more aerodynamic, safer and more innovative than all the competition. Only the simple and unusual design initially caused some controversy, but the continuing success and over 800,000 units produced proved that Mercedes was right. This driving report portrays a Mercedes-Benz 500 SE of the first W-126 generation and describes its development and special features.
It took almost eight years to develop and prepare for production, and then the cab drivers refused to accept progress, even organizing protest rallies because they preferred the predecessor. And today, almost 35 years later, the Mercedes-Benz 124 model series is known as the last "real" Mercedes. Over two million saloons were built over 11 years, and today they are as popular as their predecessors. This report describes the history of the 124 model series, portrays a 280 E from 1993 and explains how it feels today, 25 years after its production.
