@@ChrisPatrick-q6kI was thinking how archaic and slow the developmental process was back then. But it was impressive to see how advance this car was compared to all other cars at the time.
Cost was no object. Engineered to be right in every way possible, made from the best that was available in it’s time, yet feeling hand crafted and built with love and passion for excellence.
So much love all around the World for the W126..... Well done all those people who designed and made this Car you have an impact on the lives of millions of people who have an emotional connection with this very special Car!
This is the best car that the Mercedes factory has produced, my father had it, he drove it for 20 years, when you drive in it, you feel like you are driving in a ship.
over engineered masterpiece, that's getting what you paid for. I do prefer this robust, reliable and classic car... a real time machine. incredible elegance.
Proud to say I had owned 3 W126 cars in a period of 8 years of my work in the USA. A 1991 420SEL (Black on Black), a 1988 500SEC (Blue metallic paint with grey leather seats; the unmolested European version) and a 1983 300SD (Golden silver paint with Black seats). In terms of Luxury, speed, safety, there is no other car to beat a W126.
My aunt had one of these in the 80's in California and when I went to visit from UK, she took us every where in it Nevada, the west coast, lake Tahoe. Yosemite etc. Amazing
Haha. For me it was the other way around. My uncle in London had one as a company car and he drove me all over the UK in it. You guys have much higher speed limit on the motorway and I was so impressed how quiet and stable it was at high speed.
i use to own w126 1987 300 se with all the accessorys, it was the best car that i have ever owned. then the engine went bad and i didn"t have a place to repair it and i had to sell the car. i still miss that beaty! one day im gonna buy one again and never ever gonna sell it!
I can only agree with that. The shapes of the W126 completely turn off any reference to time. Presented 40 years ago, you can not only see it today, but probably in 40 years. There is hardly a vehicle that radiates cool elegance, noblesse, timelessness, safety and the impression of being fully milled as much as the 80s S-Class. No Baroque like the W116 & no stupid decadence like the W140 that never fit into his time. The W126 is just the most perfect ever built S-Class but also one of the coolest vehicles on the planet
max mustermann isnt risiculous today to use a w126 ! A 500 or 560 SEC or SEL is allways ready for endure modern circulations...is my memorie is good last years had whelebase more lenght (all models of sedan mesure 5m25) ...if old w126 SE (no L) look alike W123 of taximen..in long whelebase design is fluid and perfect by great lenght...a true limo with confort for rear passenger...
I just love the sleek shape of these. My dad had a W108 S class, and a W116. I have a C class W202 and a W203. Must say they dont make them like they used to.
Очень красивая машина.В 2000м году хотел покупать 126й за 2500 бакинских. Оставил задаток продавцу,он должен был сделать предпродажную подготовку(отполировать ,хим чистка ,замена расходников) Пришёл забирать а салон машины украли варварски.Я был расстроен не меньше хозяина. Пришлось брать 124й.
We used 7 cars from w126 . I car 300se and 1 car 560se and 5 cars 560sel all is the best cars in old classk cars . 3 years we used w140 s500 1998 wow it need abock to righte what we feel .. Now we have 1 car 560sel and 2 cars w220 . Thanks german 👍👍👍👍👍
Can we all just look at the crash tests and be amazed by the fact a car of this age is that good in an accident! It took years before lesser cars were made to be good in accidents! If you crashed a metro or something like that then it would fold like a cheap suit.
Amazeballs - in the past 3-4 weeks or so, one of my neighbours bought a W126, and another an R129. They are not in the best shape; parked in the street as daily beaters... so I get to walk past two awesome cars every day now :)
Der 500 SE war mit 8,5 l/100 km (DDR-Transit-Autobahn) unschlagbar im Verbrauch. Die Maschine blieb dabei im Bereich 1000-1100 Umdrehungen (Leerlauf 900).
my friend have an E240 TD model 1979 , mileage on 999999 finished no more space for more numbers and it's still running and performing like a 2 to 3 years old car
Nicht ganz mercedes war mal bester! Inzwischen nicht mehr es gibt so viele automarken die gute autos für weniger geld anbieten! mercedes audi bmw vw haben nichts anderes gemacht als die preise zu erhöhen seit fast 20 jahren!!!
the w126 mercedes benz was a masterpiece along with her predecessor the w116. the best two mercedes ever made. real beauties. by far ahead of their time!!! the sonderklasse of the 70s and and the sonderklasse (s) of the eighties are unmatched by any of the car of that era! period!!!! sel and sec
I cry everytime I see a development mercedes video, because I know this level of craftsmanship will never exist again.
Yes completely agree
Yes, true.
They're much safer now however.

Never will be built a car like w126. Even by MB. Long live Sacco.
Sacco didn’t build it. Just drew the pretty pictures

Каждая деталь продумана. 👍👍👍 делалось до сегодняшних дней. Ведь до сих пор на ходу.
да, сейчас 2021, мой 89 года') действительно делали люди для людей...!
Молодцы немцы!
Мой 84 каждый день бегает
Да,я езжу на таком и с ужасом гляжу на современные технологии и автомобили!
Жаль что такие легенды вымирают !!! Но ещё много людей которые ценят и хранят !!!
Да,я езжу на таком каждый день.

@@500mousespower8 недавно продал 124й,приглядываюсь к 126му..
Yo tengo uno para los domingos, saludos desde Argentina
i LOVE MY 1986 300SDL! Back when Mercedes really built a car. My W126 has 267000 miles and is still looking and driving excellent!
I daily drive a 1981 300SD, has 278,000 on it and drives great.

все ваши вышедшие видео про мерседесов с удовольствием смотрю спасибо большое!!!
+Айша Бериккажиева спасибо, стараемся ))
The facelift W126 SE straight six is the ultimate configuration of this grand automobile.
5:08, the ribbed rear lights purpose was to remain visible even when dirty. It actually worked :)
So snow will fall off leaving some of if not all the light visible
And then they stopped doing it : /
Change just for trends sake isn't progress. It is just the appeasement of a less informed consumer expectation.
It’s also so you can see it when it very bright out too.
I own a 1984 300sd with 285 kilometers on the dial and still runs like a dream
the best car on the planet
i have a 1987 mint condition 34k what do you think its value is. ? Regards David
what engine ?
w116, w123, w115, w124, soroljam még?
İ think so...
AND W201 (190E/D) TOO.
wowwww... that's a car (and what a fabulous video) .
I hate the lack of timeless charm on most current Mercedes ! ! !
The legend of Mercedes Benz S Class W126. Good Quality and high performance.
The best S-class !!!
For me W116 , but i like the W126 !
and 108/9
A brilliant piece of machine!
the symbolism this car holds in many hearts, infact, Im going to check out one to possibly buy one today! :D
Eines der besten Modelle......eines der besten Autos aller Zeiten
I just love the sleek shape of these. My dad had a W108 S class, and a W116. I have a C class W202 and a W203. Must say they dont make them like they used to.
Now it's all lease-mobiles that are designed to last for 3 years leasing
They're much safer now though.
from a time when mercedes were undoubtedly the best car in the world and bmw and audi were playing catch up unlike today
GrumpyTinashe Mercedes-Benz is still the Best
Audi = 4 zeros on the grill, the 5. behind the wheel ...
Audi were not as upmarket in the 70.s as they are today
Audi and BMW still playing catch up. Wanna know where automotive is heading? Look at what Mercedes is doing today.
@@MY-pj8cd Audi and bmw isn't playing catch up

126 the best s class forever👍
This is the most iconic model of all time
Огромное спасибо, смотрел не раз, но каждый раз обнаруживаю что-то новое))
I love my 1990 300SEL, 211.000 kms, running like new. I've found tourists taking selfies with it :)
Вот я понимаю инженеры работали, а сейчас маркетинг. Вёдра штампуют да и всё.
Вот видите как раньше делали машины всё было чётенько не то что сейчас (((
Best car ever built
Вот раньше делали!не то что сейчас..
My dad owns one like this one. Now I understand why he never wants to sell it.
Great archive videos. I see you added music--Did they originally have narration in German? Would love to hear that part.
Der 500 SE war mit 8,5 l/100 km (DDR-Transit-Autobahn) unschlagbar im Verbrauch. Die Maschine blieb dabei im Bereich 1000-1100 Umdrehungen (Leerlauf 900).
The best of the century. No more.
Nice video. W126 the best
THE TRUE REAL PASSENGER VEHICLE EVER MADE!!!
Loved the music... and the car of course ( especially the 560sec ) :-))
We love our W126
...die schönste S-Klasse ever...
The best s class ever made
Mercedes from the 80s it's really engineer like no other car in the world ⭐⭐

Mükemmel bir mimarlık ve tasarım harikulade bir mühendislik ve ciddi bir ar-ge çalışması sonuç MERCEDES

From the battle of my heart thank you old benz

The beauty of German engineering! ..
what's the music used here? and what an inspirational video, you see this video and get far more respect for Mercedes than rolls royce
самый красивый S класс!!!
THE KING
We had few of this modle. Top design and built car 👌🏼👌🏼
Timeless Design Mercedes W126, also known in Indonesia as Mercedes "Eagle"
A car for Mercedes to be proud of. And now they just mass produce plastic, screen-filled crap with no more prestige than a Kia. Tragic.
no kidding.. prestige and class is long gone..
Best video on TH-cam
I'd wish I could be driven in one of those, in the past they were too unique now there are not too many :(
Argie dan theres still a bunch on the road and for sale on autotrader, craiglist, ebay
Best car, best times
👍👍👍 Мерседес бенс🚗
БЫЛО ВРЕМЯ АВТОПРОМ РАБОТАЛ НА КАЧЕСТВО, А СЕЙЧАС ШТАМПУЮТ НА КОЛИЧЕСТВО

Mercedes benz war der beste ist der beste und bleibt der beste immer!!!!!.
Nicht ganz mercedes war mal bester! Inzwischen nicht mehr es gibt so viele automarken die gute autos für weniger geld anbieten! mercedes audi bmw vw haben nichts anderes gemacht als die preise zu erhöhen seit fast 20 jahren!!!
Music goes well to those poor crash dummies testing the frames integrity
love Mercedes 💖💖💖
