What's Masterpiece edition?

Hi all, realised there're some W124's which have a "Masterpiece" badge on their bootlid. What are these and how are they different from normal E-classes? Thanks!

I believe it was, like the Avantgarde and Limited Edition, a special "near the end of production" model, mostly for the UK and Australian market.

The W124 "MasterPiece" version was the final edition of the W124. In addition to what MTI said, these were also sold in Singapore, Malaysia, and other SEA countries. They were well equipped with burlwood trim, leather, power rear sunshade, manual rear side window shades, etc.

Yes, sold in SEA countries.

In Indonesia, the ones from the factory were all Black Opal in color (or a similar shade of bluish metallic dark gray). But there were so many people who converted their 300Es and 230Es to make them look like the masterpiece E320s.

Love the color..
