| Re: Mercedes-Benz-Blog TRIVIA: History of the E-Class - PART I+++ I actually love all the E-Classes but my true love is the W123. Then again, I've always also liked the W114/W115 - and here's a big reason to love them. The "Stroke 8" remained a favourite for many years not only with German taxi drivers. The Mercedes-Benz with the highest known recorded mileage in service is a Greek taxi, a 1976 240 D. Its owner, taxi driver Gregorios Sachinidis from Thessaloniki, covered 4.6 million kilometres in this car. Since 2004 the car belongs to the collection of the Stuttgart Mercedes-Benz Museum. Vehicles like the world-record taxi further underscore the reputation of the "Stroke 8" as an indestructible and reliable long-distance runner. The respect and acknowledgement voiced by the contemporaries of the "Stroke 8" can be heard to this day in the enthusiasm of the pre-vintage and vintage car community for the 115 and 114 series.
