Mercedes-Benz 250 Mercedes-Benz 250 D W124 Worldwide unique: 94k km, first owner, 1991 г.в.

For sale is a truly exceptional, museum-grade example from one of Mercedes-Benz’s most iconic model lines: a 1991 Mercedes-Benz W124 250 D Elegance, powered by the legendary five-cylinder naturally aspirated diesel engine. What makes this vehicle extraordinary is not only its impeccable mechanical and aesthetic condition, but also its unbroken, fully documented provenance—something nearly impossible to find in Europe today. This particular car was originally sold in 1991 in Hungary, at the prestigious Kárpáti Street Mercedes-Benz dealership in Budapest, one of the country's most exclusive showrooms during the early post-communist era. The first and only owner placed a custom order, choosing a configuration that beautifully reflects both the era’s taste and the timeless elegance Mercedes-Benz was known for. The selected light metallic blue paint is a true rarity, ordered directly from the factory, and it harmonizes perfectly with the car’s iconic checkered cloth interior, which remains in immaculate condition. The car has remained in the same ownership for over three decades, always garaged and meticulously maintained. Every service has been performed at the original dealership using only genuine Mercedes-Benz parts. This exceptional maintenance record is fully traceable through a complete service book, original factory build sheet, purchase documents, and invoices—a perfectly linear ownership and service history seldom seen today. With only 94,000 kilometers from new, the condition is nothing short of astonishing. The paint is deep and glossy, free from scratches or damage. The interior looks and feels virtually new—every switch, knob, and surface is intact and fully functional. The car even retains its original new-car scent, an incredibly rare feature in any classic, let alone a 33-year-old diesel sedan. The W124 series is widely regarded as one of Mercedes-Benz’s engineering masterpieces—born in an era when longevity and mechanical integrity took precedence over marketing. Built between 1984 and 1995, the W124 earned global acclaim for its durability, elegant design, and structural stability. The angular yet aerodynamic silhouette was the work of Bruno Sacco, whose proportions remain timeless to this day. It was also one of the first cars to benefit from computer-modeled aerodynamics, achieving a drag coefficient of just 0.29—remarkable even by modern standards. The suspension was tuned to provide both limousine-like ride comfort and composed handling, a balance that later became a defining trait of Mercedes engineering. The W124 remains famous for its ability to cover hundreds of thousands of kilometers reliably, but this particular example goes far beyond mere utility. This is not just a car—it is a preserved time capsule, representing not only the golden era of German automotive craftsmanship, but also a uniquely Hungarian automotive story: one man, one car, and over thirty years of careful stewardship. With its low mileage, single ownership, factory originality, and full documentation, this W124 is a rare gem, unmatched not only in Hungary but arguably across the entire European market. It is a dignified heirloom carrying the legacy of the three-pointed star into the future.
