1991 Mercedes-Benz W124 260E | London

A 1991 Mercedes-Benz W124 260E, the six-cylinder saloon in the W124 executive range. It is liked for its clean, smooth lines, its calm ride and the understated refinement of a late-1980s Mercedes. Its 2.6-litre straight-six drives the rear wheels. This car is finished in blue with a beige interior, a restrained pairing that suits the model's quiet character. The upright saloon body has large windows, so light fills the cabin and there is room in shot for the surroundings. Its plain, uncluttered shape sits comfortably against late-1980s and early-1990s settings. For film and TV it works as a period executive car, whether a business saloon or a discreet official arrival. Photographers and advertisers get simple lines that read clearly in the frame, and events can use it as a formal arrival car. It also suits a wedding or a personal hire with a dignified air. The car is based in London.
