What was the earliest Mercedes to have an estate version?
A stacked headlight Estate would be funky I think, but are there any around?

There were stacked light Merc estates (I've seen some pics), but I think that they were either outside conversions, or if factory built, just in very low numbers (the Beruit taxi shape was definately the first mass produced Merc estate).

I think they did an estate version of the W108 (I think...) but it was only for certain markets (South Africa etc). It had a different nose treatment too with ugly single headlights and not a stacked jobby. I think this was factory (they built them in SA)...not 100% sure though...
A company called Binz did various chassis conversions like ambulances and hearses!
They never did a wagon version of the W114/5 like mine (which I think would've been cool!) - as Amazonsprite said, the W123 was the first mass-produced wagon.

Thanks to DarrenW for digging out this picture for me : Love that car! There is a guy who lives at the end of my road who trades in used Mercs, there are always a couple of different SELs or SECs there every week. He has a proper rat looking one of these in that baby sick yellow colour. I don`t think it has been washed since 1987  |
