Another pitch for the MV/Weekender interior is that in addition to the rear bench seat folding down, it also can be slid all the way forward. This opens up a ton of space in the rear cargo area for hauling stuff. Here's a load I took to the dump, which would've been a little awkward if I hadn't of had a sliding seat. I just love this interior configuration

MVlaska, thanks for the great info!!!
That 1999 is a great looking one but with 4 kids I want all seats facing forward so I want to stay away from the MV. I know it's a really cool one with the interior flexibility but I fear the kids will complain...
I have two looking backwards right now in the allroad with 3rd row and they complain of motion sickness sometimes... |

Nice M-B W124, what is it? I have a white '92 400E in my fleet (aka the old man-mobile).

That's a '90 300D, and around the corner is an '87 300TD with the engine from a '99 E300D and the suspension and brakes from a V12 SL600. I love love love the 124. That's a 124 front bumper inside the EV.

I had the same concern with 6, but they deal with it. The MV is hands down the best configuration of the T4 ever, IMHO. Jump Seat comes out in 5 seconds for boxy stuff. You can still change into your wet suit. Slept 6 once when they were small, last set of twins killed that

Hi,
Well I found one and I'm flying to pick it up and drive it back on Friday.
We will see how it goes.
Here it is! Looking forward to discussing it further here once I have it.
Cheers
David

Excellent. Yeah, the W124s were arguably one of the best platforms the brand ever made.

Thanks, now if the allroad can sell!
I’ll miss it but the EV is also a special car in its own ways! And I’ve been wanting one each time I purchased a car so here we are! I’ll post again once I do the drive! I have been using liqui moly in all my cars for a while and I think it fits for the EV as well so first job will be fresh oil!
Cheers
