W124 pickup truck? Why not, such versions were even built on a Porsche basis to help Denmark bypass taxes and give relief to entrepreneurs. Such a conversion in Scandinavia was handled by several body companies, the largest being Sæby Karosseriværksted, from which the presented specimen comes. Enthusiasts today estimate that several hundred were built, although exact statistics are unknown. Danish Mercedes 300E Pickup W124s were mostly built on the basis of a standard station wagon, and unlike hearses or ambulances, they have a standard wheelbase, which allowed them to maintain their neat proportions. Despite the not inconsiderable cost of conversion, the W124 pickup ultimately cost no more than a standard W124 sedan. Today, that's changed... these most well-kept pieces simply have collector value. Among the flood of ordinary W124s at rallies, such a car can immediately stand out, and on the street it even causes a sensation. This copy has been thoroughly restored, making it look as good as new today.
