1993 Mercedes-Benz 300 D 2.5 Turbo Engine Running Video
Description
OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE
Production for the successor to the tremendously successful “W123” platform began in November 1984 and would surpass 2.5 million units over 13 years of production. Collectively referred to as the W124 – officially designated the E-Class in 1993 – the new range of mid-sized executive vehicles spanned sedans, estates, coupes, and cabriolets featuring aerodynamic styling penned by Bruno Sacco. In keeping with Mercedes-Benz's sterling reputation for reliability, the W124 was offered with a variety of robust powerplants including inline-four, inline-six, and V8 gasoline engines, as well as straight-four, five, and six diesels in world markets. The diesel-powered 300 D was first available to American customers in 1986 and ‘87, returning in late-1990 now powered by the “OM602” inline-five-cylinder diesel in naturally aspirated or turbocharged form. Considered to be one of the most reliable engines ever built with some examples exceeding 1,000,000 miles, this 1993 Mercedes-Benz 300 D 2.5 Turbo is ready for many more miles of driving enjoyment.
Robert A. Jones, a successful businessman and second-generation leader of the still going concern, Jones Brothers Contracting of Mount Juliet, Tennessee, had an innate understanding of the many heavy duty machines that were a part of the family business. Early on, Mr. Jones turned that knowledge into a passion for road cars and acquired his first collector car in 1969, at the age of 35 — the famous Ford Model T. That single and simple pre-war car sparked a passion that never tempered for Mr. Jones and eventually, influenced by the more common Jones family marque of choice, his passions would burn even brighter for early Chevrolets. As his collection grew and changed over the years, his interests were focused on displaying the cars at regional shows and concours, as well as still driving many of his road-worthy classics. Hagerty Marketplace is proud to offer The Jones Collection, entirely without reserve, comprising some long-treasured vehicles from his personal collection.
