Hi Tom, Yep, that's a W124 chassis, 124.133 to be exact. The engine is an OM603.960, six-cyl turbo with aluminum head. T'was only imported to the USA in 1987. There was a 5-cyl version imported from 1990-1993 (124.128 with 5-cyl OM602 engine), that model has less power but better fuel economy. A more detailed look at stengths/weaknesses is at this link (text file):
