Just 141,498 of the W124 chassis coupe (C124) were built. What makes them such great usable classics today? We talk to the owner of this car and drive it to find out!!

I drove a '92 300 CE-24 throughout the 90s. Loved every second of it.

Agreed, the c124 is the best looking 124 and best Mercedes coupe ever IMO

Oh no . Not another Mercedes owning Kevin !. That's a handsome looking car and in the right colour. I like the R129 but the C124 has the additional practicality of 4 seats so would get my vote. In terms of build quality with modern creatuire comforts it was probably " peak Merc". Thanks for the video Simon. Get yourself a straight six - you know it makes sense !

Thanks Michael, they are truly special aren’t they? Understated but still turns heads today with their pillar less design. I must try the cars that sit either side of this, the C123 and CLK!

Kevin is absolutely right about the cost of a new car Vs investing in something that you really want to drive. It's really great to hear that he is enjoying the car on a daily basis. Another nicely put together video Simon. Well done!

I can tell you that the transition to a CLK was the biggest bad purchase of my life. That says enough. The CLK felt like a cheap smaller car, without that nice view over the hood. So, buy a C124, the price are 👍 from now

I got a super deal on one in college; drove it all four years and the sold it for more than I bought it to a Russian mechanic who bought it as a wedding gift to his new wife (it was her dream car).. I drove it for free basically.

How many of these wonderful cars within Greater London will be sold by families that love them because of Khan’s disgusting ULEZ extension. Which we hope will be scrapped or delayed, so don’t sell up yet folks.
