Mercedes-Benz V124

The Mercedes-Benz V124 is the stretched six-door limousine version of the W124 range of executive cars that Daimler-Benz built from 1984 to 1997. It was co-designed with the Binz company and unveiled in 1989, with an 800 mm long insert at the B-pillar that added a second pair of doors and a forward-facing seat bench. Production of the 250 D and the 260 E began in May 1990. The 260 E was replaced by the 280 E in July 1992 and rebadged the E 280 in August 1993, while the 250 D took the OM 605 engine of the standard saloon at the August 1993 facelift and became the E 250 Diesel. A total of 2,342 of these six-door cars were built before production halted in July 1994.
