Here’s something you don’t see very often, a Mercedes W124 Estate with the 4MATIC system finished in signal red with the grey cloth trim.

This example has being going through a restoration and for many reasons the vendor has ran out of time but a lot of work has already been done, however, we always recommend viewing first hand to satisfy yourself on what has been done and still needs doing.

This deserves to be finished and enjoyed, and as we all know this was maybe built when they Mercedes were at their best.

These are becoming very collectable and very useable, and this one looks very striking in its colour combination, a brave choice back in the day but it looks great today.

4Matic (stylized in all caps as 4MATIC) is the marketing name of an all-wheel drive system developed by Mercedes-Benz since 1987, the four-wheel-drive system was developed in conjunction with Steyr-Daimler-Puch (currently Magna Steyr), who manufactured the Mercedes-Benz G-Class in Austria.

Nearly all Merced...
