Hammer or not, a 300e is a delight to own and drive, very underated and for the money its a lot of bang for buck

I love the 124's far better than the rusty nail Merc replaced it with !!
good luck in your search :D

no it doesnt have the recaros sadly but the 300ce is still an awesome car...i remember when my old boy had a 300e in saloon...was a lovely motor and the power was nice too, obviously not supercar power but still quick enough for what it is :)

i agree with topless here the 124's are seriously under rated having had two in he family i know what they are like

If you want an 300ce, hold out for a 300ce-24V..... The 24v donk is a alot more potent than the 12V lump and alot more charismatic......

Fixed !

A standard 300ce is a great car. £1500 will buy a nice one which is a hell of a car for no money. Alas all the later facelift cars suffer from wiring loom / ECU dramas , chocolate 5 speed auto boxes and poorer rust prevention. The pick of the crop is the '89-'92 300 ce 12 valve.

The main issues are porous head castings and dead ECUs and I have never seen one without a head gasket oil leak.
