Elegance and luxury, preserved in its original, unaltered state. The W126 S-Class is still considered by many to be one of the most accomplished cars ever made, a study in clean, oversized engineering and effortless styling. What's more, the 420SEL's 231bhp V8 gives the model an overwhelming, superior power that is hard to match on the roads here at home. The W126 takes us back to an era when luxury was defined by engineering craftsmanship, not LED stripes and displays. The long wheelbase W126 420 SEL was the contemporary equivalent of the Maybach, making it a favourite choice of diplomats, stockbrokers and world leaders in the 1980s and 90s. This machine is a unique piece of oldtimer engineering, combining safety, power and handling in a stunning package that offers an almost modern-day ride comfort with the look of a classic car. The example we're advertising - from Switzerland - is in very nice condition. It is very tasteful and in excellent condition with a plush grey interior, further enhanced by the real wood trim. Of course, extras such as electrically adjustable seats, sunroof and cruise control are not to be missed. And it was the safety systems, which were a world first at the time, that set the model apart from the competition, such as ABS, traction control, passenger-side airbags and crumple zones, which were also fitted in the saloon. On Mobile. de, long wheelbase 420s in similarly pristine condition are selling for between €20-30, 000.
