1984 Mercedes-Benz 280 TE s123 the best classic wagon

At the Frankfurt International Motor Show IAA, in September 1977, the so-called „T-Model“ was presented as the third body variant of series 123. „T“ was to be interpreted as „tourism and transport“. For the first time, an estate solely produced by Mercedes-Benz was part of the official model range. From April 1978 onwards, the production was carried out in the Bremen plant. Having been reserved for the manufacturing of delivery trucks before, it now step by step was equipped to assemble passenger cars.

Technically and stylistically the estates corresponded mostly to the saloons on which they had been based. Except for the deviant tail end and the thus resulting changes, no differences could be seen. Aggregates, brake system, and chassis were practically taken over unchanged from the saloons. Thus the estates, too, were equipped with a semi-trailing arm rear-axle. In the standard version, however, it was now combined with a hydropneumatic leveling system as well as with a double-wishbone front wheel suspension with zero steering offset.

This car you can buy for 58.890 euro
