In Indonesia:

• Mercy is a short form of Mercedes Benz
• Tiger means Macan. Macan stands from MAnis dan CANtik. In English, it can be translated as Sweet and Beautiful
• Mercy Tiger means Sweet and Beautiful Mercedes Benz
• Mercy Tiger however, is usually referred to Mercedes Benz sedans which produced before 1985.

Model names were usually related to engine sizes, type of engine, and chassis type.

• D for Diesel,
• E for Einspritzung (fuel injection)
• Lang for Long Wheelbase
• T for Transport and Touring (estate/station wagon)
• C for Coupé

The 280E was enormously popular, thanks largely to the sweet 6 cylinder being equipped with the Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection system with air volume control (first seen in the 6.9 litre monster 450SEL).

The car had all the style and grace of the larger “S” class cars, but with a much more appealing price. And the optional sunroof was a pearler, employing an automatic wind deflector.

The 280E came standard with 4 wheel disc brakes, electric windows, power steering and could be optioned with cruise control, fog lights and central locking.

They are not particularly collectable, but a well cared for example will provide a high class drive even by todays standards.
