Hi,
For those of us who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s in India, the W124 was the very best car available for purchase from 1995-1997 in the country. There are several ownership threads on TBHP and even a support group dedicated to the car. Attached is historical footage of the car being developed by engineers using a industry first blend of state of the art 1980's technology and hand assembly. No Mercedes since has ever been built to such a high standard by the company's engineers (by their own admission) and properly owned W124s continue to appreciate in value. What's more, original Mercedes Benz spare parts are priced closer to a Skoda than to its newer brethren, and far better at keeping the car running like new.
As an owner of a W123 and W124 for nearly a decade, I can safely state that no other car Mercedes Benz can handle Indian roads and conditions like both these models can. Subsequent newer models have long since fallen to pieces, thanks largely to the reduced role of the engineers and cost cutting by Mercedes Benz marketers, but not the W123/ W124/W126. To build awareness among the TBHP community and promote responsible ownership of these legendary cars, I've started this thread to aggregate archival video, reviews and images of the car.
