very nice , no, its an excellent video on the Masterpiece , and you definitely have a well-care for 280. I understand, there were about 3000 ++ Masterpieces made by Cycle and Carriage as they were phasing out the 124 models for the newer E series, the 210 models. To give these iconic 124 a grand send off, ( or to push, to clear stock) C&C as a marketing gimmick, decided to up the specs on these last few thousand cars to create this flagship brand, called the Masterpiece Series ! The top of the range came with the 2800 engine, followed by the most common 2200cc and finally (Baby Masterpiece) the 2000cc. Singapore C&C took the bulk these luxury cars, and introduced them as the white Masterpiece luxury taxis. (very popular used in Singapore as airport limos and wedding cars) However as car life cycles in Singapore is only about 10 years most of the Masterpieces there have been destroyed or sold off to 3rd world nations where they remained as taxis . It is estimated that there are less than 1000 Masterpieces left in the whole world. thus keep your car as it is, can only keep apricating in value, If however you feel you want to sell it or want it to go to a appreciative owner, please message me, I will be trilled to carry on the tradition of caring for these icons!. I was lucky to have picked up one of these beauties, the baby masterpiece, in its original paint with the original (working ) radio!.

everyone who save w124 is a hero

I have one manufactured 1990. Inherited from my late father. His favorite car and most reliable for long journey...

In my opinion, the two unforgettable vehicles in the world are the W124 and W140.

Your Masterpiece very nice indeed sir...awesome. I got one w124 since 1999 when i was 24 years old as my daily driving. Now i am 47 and still love it every single day.

Bought my S124 almost two years ago at 41. Had been my dream car since I was 14. Love it!

Great interview! I’m one of the “younger” enthusiasts he spoke of. And my father also used to have a 124 (and 123), which has fueled my addiction for these. :)

Can definitely agree on the appeal to younger generations bit as a young guy with a 124 👍🏻

I don’t think they is a better word to describe my 500E. Great video

I also driving my W124 E320 1995 M/T Masterpiece. I bought from new and right now still running well and comfortable. My W124 make me confidently.

I've managed to get ahold of a 1994 e320 with the larger inline 6, that's sadly been modified and isn't in the best shape, but as a result it was very very cheap, and I've managed to buy it in full with cash at the age of 20. And while it's beat up, and has some dumb stuff like a non functioning aftermarket sound system which seemingly has blown out all the speakers, the car runs and drives near flawlessly, and doesn't even have tons of body damage or fading etc, ultimately I think I've gotten ahold of a car that's going to clean up really nicely and be an incredible daily driver once I've got everything sorted.

w124 masterpiece is a lifetime. glad to own this too💫

W201, W124, W140...the Holy trinity of cars

One of your best videos!A proud owner of a w124 1993 with M111 engine.

I also own an W124 and I love it. You could add a double brake booster to improve the brake.

I had my W210 10 years ago and still daily it and I would like to get myself a W124. I just turned 35, these cars do have a young gen appeal.

Mercedes Benz sits above all the other car manufacturers.....it will always be this way.

Hi nice to meet you on this video....i remember meeting you at kenzone at kelana jaya...some time back....fyi....the merc w124 masterpiece was a unique malaysian creation, done by then merc distributor, cycle and carriage malaysia...with the main of clearing off their old stock..with extra embellishment such as different alloys, wooden trims etc....and ironically in 1996, cycle and carriage sold ckd w210 merc e280 with a 2.8 v6 sohc triple valve twin sprark plug configuration with a 5 speeds box...interesting times

Very nice. The W124 is going to be a collector soon. I have a 95 E320. Really well built. The carpets are still REAL wool. Nowadays real wool is only on the S class! Enjoy and keep well.

Very nice vid and channel 👍Greetings from Germany to Malaysia. Good examples of the W124 are now hard to find even in Germany.

Had a smoked grey one with 3.0 liter diesel engine and a white one 2.0 liter gasoline, were best cars ever, in all purposes. Reliable, durable, comfortable, some true Mercedes. I'm sure now, best Mercedes are W108 and W124... My W124 get all over 300 000 kms easy and still "fresh engine"...

I have 6 old Mercedes’, 2 124s a convertible and wagon! Thank you for great video

Thank u for e video n it was a very good interview n insights.

Irreplaceable, unforgettable & irepeatable car ever even by Merc. itself.

Time will only tell if my W211 can stay as old as this W124 does. Been having a W211 E240 since 2019 and because of the amount of electronics it has, it requires the owner themselves to sometimes outsmart mechanics because a simple blown fuse can sometimes trigger the car to not start, or even go into limp home mode where meter declares ESP DEFECTIVE. Hence when something wrong happens to a W211, don't panic, always depend on a proper Mercedes scan tool like an iCarSoft so that you can dive down to know the exact diagnosis. Also, always try the cheapest method before going to mechanics. If car idles funny, some say u leave the key in accessories mode for 3 minutes, then plug out the key and put it back in, still leave the key in accessories for just maybe 3 seconds then crank. If that's too cumbersome to say the least, put the key in, let it stay for 3 seconds, turn to accessories and leave it for 3 seconds. Repeat le cycle once, then take key out and wait 10 seconds. Then start the car. This method applies for most ETB (electronic throttle body cars) so of course cars like the M104 powered W124 probably doesn't need such annoying processes just to take it out for a drive in a breezy morning. This UK fellow is also very smart to have gotten the facelifted version of the W124. Normally cars are known to be more reliable if they have been facelifted. Too bad I got the prefacelift W211 haha.

My father used to own this magnificent of a car an infact was his first Mercedes. Unfortunately he sold it after replacement parts kept being expensive. He was only able to drive the car for only 2 years, which may seem to be a short period of time. But to him, it was more than enough

I have a black on black 1995 sw124 with e500 e36 style euro kit and lowered with mono-block amg off set. Love my wagon.

I absolutely love my e300d w124 best car I've owned so smooth needs some love but only gave 800$ with no rust deal of a life time

Im sure this is the same engine used from the c class..they started using them on the later models of the w124..great engine ither that that biodegradable loom that needs replacing every now an again.. But what a motor car. Engineered like no other car💪

I grew up at my grand parrents and my grand dad had a 1991 560 SEC (C126). The first car I ever drove. And now I own two W201/190E and a W124/300E. Im 28. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I only need a 126 to complete my simple collection. 🤣 Love that era of Benz's.

Cool car and best owner!

I’m in love with my w124 e250 Turbo very very nice condition , it’s good to a man in that age and still show love to the w124

truly masterpiece from MB

Thank you for the video.

Beautiful I like.the wagon model more. But I cant.find one where I live. Used to have a 190d from 84. Best.car.I ever had. Wouldnt be suprised if.its still going strong somewhere today.

I was hunting for JDMs fast cars like the SR20s silvia and RB skylines surely I am a pure JDM enthusias. I came across an advert a W124 masterpiece in zircon silver up for sale...and say to myself 'Why not give it a try'. And so, magic happens! W124...Surely a dream to drive ! Now A month of ownership..power,comfort and luxury feel

I remember there were w124 MasterPiece in Hong Kong too

My family owns a c124 300 for 34 years (purchased new) and it is still perfect! ( self evidently never let us down)

I've had a bmw 335i coupe for nearly 15 years and my C124 for over 6 years , selling the bmw keeping the 124 , no computers, just so classy.

Indonesia had their own version of Masterpiece, the E220 & E320

I have a 1995 E320 that I absolutely adore. I have replaced a Lot of things in it and it’s only at 140000 miles. Love this video and the steering wheel is gorgeous. Where can I get one like that?

It was manufactured whole heartedly

👍 car.

Hi Bro... 75K views!

nice video.. i have a E280 local masterpiece too. i own mine when i was 28 years old .the odometer if can be change to original i think should be in KM. not miles . add on rear door sun blind. then should be perfect for that .. hope to have chance to meet up. my car in Johor Bahru , fully original with me nearly 9 years and daily drive car .. :) nice to see H&L classic very professional in restore car to original status . good job ..

I purchased a 1990 MB 300E in 2013 that was like new; only paid $2,500 for it and thought it was good for a million miles. One family owned it and they babied that car. It only had 144k miles on it. However, I was wrong because AGE takes a toll. It may look new but it's an old car (classic old car). I stated putting $ into it because I could not envision that car going to the bone yard. I finally had a big decision in 2021 to make as it needed a valve job so here I am again = bone yard or bank acct. I decided to put the $ into it as this $3,200 should be the fix. It ended costing me $4,800 with motor mounts, new oil pan, etc. So, I purchased the car for $2,500 and since 2013 have put ~$12,000 into it. Now I have a beautiful W124 which I pretty much made new from top to bottom; transmission done in 2016. I did not plan on "rebuilding her" BUT I love this car and could not let her die. I'm old too and can relate to this little Mercedes = some things are not easily disposable.

W124 и w140 это произведение искусства, таких больше не будет. В мире есть два вида автомобиля, первый это мерседес а вторая все остальные марки машин.

Had an E280 Masterpiece years ago. Had an accident (not serious, some body damage) but wasn't repaired well and i got fed up and sold it. Regret it now. It was a lovely car.

👍 like to see this car in Malaysia ones

If u r selling it sometime, please let me know. Im buying....

I own an 95’ e220 w124 T model with a 4-speed slushbox, it is very reliable and practical.. its about to pass 400k km. but i gotta maintain quite often because we have a lot of roadsalt in norway that makes the car corrode and rust rather fast.. Its a car that i wanna take care of, but at the same time i really want the sedan or coupe because of the looks, but i also want the practicality of the T-model… maybe get both models😂 (Edit) I was quite lucky tho, this car is as OEM as it gets, it has never been modded or anything

That speedometer though...has been swapped with UK spec 124. Malaysia spec reads in kmh only. Btw i drive a W210, very affordable now and just a couple of grand difference with 124 today

i drive a 1993 W124 400E ( 289K miles on it)

But the gear handle is on the wrong side! Just kidding! My 91 300E just passed 600K km lately. These cars can live forever if you take care of them at least moderately, not need for excessively. Hopefully the parts and labor stay that long where I live.

My understanding is that airbag is dependable only for max duration of 15 years, due to deterioration of chemicals encapsulated. Correct me if I m wrong. Thanks

Very nice video and awesome beautiful specs for this beauty in Malasya. I’m Looking forward to buy a 1995 W124 E420 (W119 engine). Owner says it has A/C malfunction. Sunroof sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t, dash lights do not light-up. Any thoughts/recommendations would be highly appreciated. Thanks

How do we get rid the awful smells in old merc? Appreciate your advice. Tq

ima yung blood just 20+ age, granpa bought 230E 1988 masterpiece from UK brought it back home.....i can say i can close the manual book for the KE jetronic 😋

What about the ICONIC W123?

Is it petrol or diesel

But for steer .... i like w124 300 E steer wheel... the 3 star logo still metal logo.. not embose to the plastik steer

The radio looks out of place to me. To each their own.

Durable, but *not* reliable. What language is he speaking?

Why do people like these bag of bolts??

Mercedes doesn't build cars like they used to. Compared to my GLC (even though it's Bremen-built), my youngtimer W201 190E-1.8 (it's actually an Australian-market special badged as a 180E built with some Aussie components to dodge import taxes, no tacho, no ABS, no airbags, no sunroof, no rear-seat headrests, no center front armrest, no cruise control) feels way more solidly built, and still feels like it was meant to take abuse. Despite being a cut-price Merc with barely any equipment, it still feels like a proper cruiser and time just slows down every time I'm behind the wheel. I wrote a long, detailed review about my car before, which can be read here: www.wapcar.my/news/owner-review-youngtimer-classic-review--my-mercedesbenz-w201-190e-18-4222

Its not real wood 😔
