THIS IS A VERY VERY RARE VAN

 

Utter bullshit.

 

They may be rare in the UK, but in the rest of the world they are a breeding pest. I can see 2 from my front door!

 

And the less said about the condition, the better.

 

Verdict: geographically challenged supertwat.

Looks like big jiggy is selling up

What a hideous POS

I just found a shite car on Auto Trader:

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201712172117383

I had the misfortune to visit this place recently and that is one of the nicer more subtle pieces of crap they had. A white Hummer that had been colour coded with Dulux and an Artex brush was a high point as was a mirror wrapped SL that had a gap up the bonnet and over the roof where the vinyl had shrunk.

Needless to say the X5 we went to see was clocked and with accident repair work Stevie Wonder would have noticed. But the best thing was a hideous orange Golf with scissor doors and Lamborghini badges which the Luton drug dealing, money laundering salesman tried to convince us was an actual Lamborghini, "Tuned in the factory at Maranello ( sic), innit Bruv"

Its not every day (or year) where we can show Mr. Barrett anything, but confusing and similarly dis-interesting they may be, the main visual difference in W201/W124 is at the back.  Like MM said, one is bigger than the other but like Father Ted's faraway cow that doesn't help when there is only one to look at. 

 

W201...(only sold as 190/190D/190E) d

W124 (sold as 200 through to 500E and many boring stops in between)   These cars survived the switch that threw Mercedes from a quality car maker to a shit car maker so they may be seen with slightly less prominent grilles and the badges switched, like this one, to E300 rather than 300E.   They're still W124s though...

The other pointer is that W201s are usually, but not always, slightly less rustier than W124s.

 

 

Thanks for this handy guide. I'd never realised that Mercedes-Benz made more than one model. I owned one once, which looked like this...

...but I never knew what it was because the badge had come off. I only remember owning it because I have photographs. It was hazardously dull to drive.

The 124 is a generation after the 190. It was 123, 190, 124 in order of introduction...I think
