does anyone have any other links to the history of the 124, or even the c124 / a124?

It's that link that makes me want an S124 more and more.
Does anyone know what the 'M' stands for in 'ME'?
The link did but not very well.

My understanding from this article and others is that it stands for Middle, being the middle model in the range at the time

unless anyone else can enlighten us further?
