from the first models released in 1984 through to the end of production
over a decade later. The book covers all major markets and uses stunning
contemporary photography gathered from all over the world to help

Researched
and written with the full co-operation of the factory, here in
definitive detail is the story of the Mercedes-Benz W124-based range – a
series of models that included saloons, estates, coupés, convertibles,
lwb cars, and special chassis units that enabled coachbuilders to work
their art.
Building on the W123 formula that had created a
best-seller, the 124-series models were an immediate success. They went
through two major face-lifts before the last of the breed was killed off
in 1997, and remain as popular as ever as a modern classic for
enthusiasts.
