T stands for Tourism and Transport, Mercedes' way of saying estate. This is the 2.0-litre four-cylinder wagon, first in the W123 range, whose estate of the late 1970s was the first wagon Mercedes built in its own factory, and then in the W124 that followed in the mid-1980s. Both are known for swallowing big loads and enormous mileages.
