The Appeal
The W126 S-Class has passed into legend as one of the most complete cars Mercedes-Benz have ever made. Elegant, timeless and featuring peerless levels of engineering integrity, it remains a high watermark in the company’s history.
This is an example of the coupé version, featuring the gargantuan 5.6-litre V8 and a well-appointed interior. If you’re looking for a smart modern classic in need of some love and attention, then this is well worth a look.
