W124 V8 | 4.2 | 279 hp H-plate appraisal | 1993
W124 V8 | 4.2 | 279 hp H-plate appraisal | 1993
For sale is a 1993 Mercedes-Benz 400 E (W124) with the legendary 4.2-liter M119 V8.
The 400 E produces 205 kW / 279 hp and 400 Nm and is one of the special models in the W124 series. In the 400 E, the V8 was integrated very discreetly into the standard W124 body – externally, the car appears much more restrained than its engine specification would suggest.

Condition
Overall, the car is in good and well-maintained condition for its age and is ready to drive.
The body, which is in very good condition for a W124 with this mileage, deserves particular mention. The car is largely rust-free.
Of course, this is a vehicle over 30 years old with a mileage of 335,000 km. Accordingly, there are signs of wear consistent with its age and use.
Known minor issues include, for example:
Trim/cover strip on the driver's door needs to be partially reattached
Age-related signs of wear are present on the vehicle
The car has just received a new TÜV inspection in September 2026 and is therefore TÜV-inspected until September 2028.
An H-plate appraisal is also already available.
About the vehicle
The 400 E is particularly interesting for enthusiasts looking for a classic W124 with a large V8 without the much more conspicuous appearance of a 500 E.
The M119 V8 is regarded as a characterful and smooth-running engine. The 400 E combines the understated W124 appearance with very high performance for its time.
The car has been in the family's possession since 1994 and has been restored since then at a cost of around €20,000. Most of the repair work was carried out by official Mercedes workshops and is documented.
Viewing and test drive possible by prior arrangement.
Private sale. Sold excluding liability for material defects, insofar as legally permissible. No warranty or returns.
