Mercedes-Benz C-Class (1993 - 2000) (Classics Reviews)
After more than a decade in production, Mercedes-Benz replaced the 190 range with the all-new C-Class. The W202 generation baby Benz was a clear evolution from the older car in terms of styling, but the new model ushered in a much wider range of engines, as well as an additional body style in the shape of a new - and very stylish - estate version. -

The Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 'Cosworth' made its first appearance at the Frankfurt motor show in September 1983, and as a homologation special for the DTM touring car version. Although the 190 looked great thanks to its subtle and well-executed body kit, its Cosworth-developed engine that made it truly special. it was based on the M102 four-cylinder 2.3-litre 8-valve, but thanks to Cosworth's engineering excellence, the new cylinder head improved breathing and efficiency, giving the new car 149bhp out of the box in road trim. -
Mercedes-Benz W124 Estate (1985 - 1995) (Classics Reviews)
Unlike its predecessor, the Mercedes-Benz W123, where the estate version was a late addition and compromised, the W124's load-lugging version was developed in parallel with the saloon, and all the better for it. For many people, the W124 estate - or S124 as it's known by enthusiasts - is probably the best and most desirable version of all the company's mid-liners. -
Mercedes-Benz S-Class (1979 - 1993) (Classics Reviews)
In 1979, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class was relaunched, and once again took a big technological leap from what came before.

Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 (1975 - 1981) (Classics Reviews)
But the planning and development for the 6.9 could never have foreseen world events, and by the time the Middle Eastern oil reserves were being rationed out at increasingly high cost, it was heading for launch. The existence of the new 450SEL 6.9 was as much about Mercedes-Benz's pride, as it was to slake the demand for a super-fast, super-cool, super-capable saloon for world leaders. It set out to establish Mercedes-Benz as the builder of the world's best saloon in the light of strong opposition from the new Jaguar XJ12. -

Mercedes-Benz E-Class (1967 - 1976) (Classics Reviews)
The stacked-headlight Mercedes-Benz mid-range saloons we the company's bread-and-butter for a dacade until the late-1970s. The W115 (four-cylinder) and W114 (six-cylinder) saloons continued the understated, elegantly stylish theme, but brought it up to date, and extended the range to include more engine and body options. -
Mercedes-Benz S-Class (1965 - 1972) (Classics Reviews)
But if the 250/300 saloon and coupes were the epitome of the modern S-Class, consider that the 1968 300SEL 6.3 was the first of the truly muscular big Mercedes-Benz saloons. Essentially, it was created when Mercedes-Benz engineers dropped the 6.3-litre V8 from the 600 into the long-wheelbase 300’s bodyshell, keeping luxuries such as air suspension from the range-topping limousine. -
Mercedes-Benz SL Pagoda (1963 - 1971) (Classics Reviews)
The 'Pagoda' generation of Mercedes-Benz SLs are a great introduction into 1960s roadsters for those with a fair budget. They are strong, reliable and achingly attractive. But why the name Pagoda? It's down to the kicked-up edges to the roofline of the optional hardtop, which bear a slight resemblance to those Chinese structures. -
Mercedes-Benz 190-300 (1959 - 1968) (Classics Reviews)
When launched in 1959, these cars helped define Mercedes-Benz in its core market. The tailfins may have been shamelessly tacked on to attract American buyers, but there's no arguing their effectiveness: the Fintail Mercedes-Benzes sold well Stateside. -
Mercedes-Benz 300-Series (1951 - 1962) (Classics Reviews)
Despite the slow start after the War, Mercedes-Benz soon got back into its stride, with the introduction of the 300. Aimed directly at established competition such as the BMW 501, it became one of the most opulent prestige cars of the decade.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe (2017 - 2023) (Reviews)
When picking between a coupe or saloon model, choosing the sleeker two-door version typically means a compromise on interior practicality. By occupying a strange hinterland in the marketplace, however, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe manages to offer both grace and space. Being based on the E-Class executive saloon means that the two-door version is bigger than average for a coupe. -
