This blue AMG S-class looks fantastic

What a car. Modern interpretation of this would be a winner.

Wow the US spec 500SEC was very underpowered due to emission regulations. Only 184HP compared to the 228HP of the Euro spec. The later 300SE inline6 produced only 7HP less power from a 2ltr less displacement and as a result, its performance stats were very close to the 500SEC.

The magnificent 560SEC. This is a 1992 model apparently with very low mileage on the clock.

This 300 SD has an incredibly low 2510km on the clock and is virtually brand new.

This spec would work on a G-Class.

This is a good comparison of 1980s XJ40 Jaguar vs Mercedes W126

The W126 is still a fablous luxury car IMO.

Its amazing how some people keep their cars locked up away and only drive a minimum of miles per year so it could be worth a good penny.

 

[Rolf]

Some amazing old school AMG S class models

The amazing 1988 brochure of the W126 S-class models

It’s unbelievable how well this car at higher speeds still drives.

Wow that 500SE is so stable and extremely impressive for a 40 year old car travelling at 240km/h. Quite amazing that it manages to clock the full speedo. So Mercedes claim of 225km/h could be somehow slightly conservative.
