1989 Mercedes 260E
Hi to all! I'm new to this forum. This is my fairly standard 1989 260E. It has no modifications at all, except for the audio head unit and speakers which were installed by the 1st and previous owner. Alot of stuff has been done since my 4-5 weeks of ownership, although mostly minor ones.
Plans are just to keep it as clean as possible, and running on tiptop shape as this sees daily driven duty.
also, here is the build sheet for the car:
VIN WDB1240261A986893
Model 260 E

877 reading lamp in the rear (с 01.11.1963)
Im just curious, is the option "837 rubber mats on front floor and rear floor; with chassis, front only; with station wagon, including loading floor (с 01.11.1969) " a rare option? and does the color match on the build sheet and the car?

Thanks, but I must be frank that in person the car looks very far from brand-new! Alot of cracked leather, faded paint, etc etc after being neglected by the previous owner (the car only has 28+++ original miles, that's how much it's neglected. always parked outside in the sun/rain 
)
I do hope to bring this thing back to life somehow, seeing all your lovely W124s really inspire me

Gotta put my set of Monoblock II's on now Just waiting for 2 new 225/40/18's for the front as the 255/50/18 hit the shocks.

Enzo, my Benzo
Paint the chrome grille surround and mesh black and get rid of the cheap looking chrome pieces on the mirrors and door handles....
Here's my old mesh grille painted black with similar lights as yours to give you an idea...

New baby :))
Hi Guys,
I just got my new baby last night.
What makes her beautiful is the fact that the old owner (now I am the owner ) is Parts Manager for MB. The E420 is only with 75800 miles. This is very low for 1994. If you do your maths this is 5000 miles per year.
The white paint is like new, the gloss is beautiful. I picked her one day later because the guy didn't want to take her out of the garage because it was raining.
I know that sounds crazy but the car still smell new in the inside.
I am so happy. It took me over 3 months to make him sell it to me, but now I GOT HER
I've paid top money for it but hey....there is only one W124.

VIN CHECK INFO
I was browsing around the NET and I came across this web page.
I think that is FANTASTIC.
I am sure it would help a lot of people to answer some questions about the Mercedes they are driving.
