Hello Brazil 🇧🇷! Thanks for watching and especially for the comment. Very much appreciated.👍 They are cracking cars - I’m looking forward to the day I get mine back on the road. It’s definitely got a lot of work to get filmed! All the best! Cheers 🍻!
I intend to!!😂 Watch this space - more coming this way! Might be a trickle rather than a flood - I’ll try my best! Thanks for watching - very much appreciated!👍
Good man! Thanks for watching - very much appreciated! Even better - you were paying attention and commented - first class! 👍 500 SEL is an awesome car ! Got a W126 video coming out by the weekend. All the best. Cheers!
Almadine Red with cream leather. Gorgeous combination. Our Friend paid $ 220.00 ( aud )1991 for his 560 sel in this colour. His Wife had a matching 560 Sl Roadster. Incredible Vehicles. Both Benz Outlived him and his successive Wives.
Looks like I’ve been proven wrong with the age thing!!😂 One of the best built vehicles around. Thank you for watching - all views are hugely appreciated! Loads more content coming up on the 300SE. Cheers!👍
People regardless of age a realising just how incredible older Benz ( pre 1992 ) are. Modern Benz lack that tactile Bank Vault feel. Our Family has experienced a Stable of high end cars over the years. W116 W123 W126 epitomises the Bruno Sacco designed " Glory Years' at Stuttgart/ Singelfinden. So sad what happened with German Auto manufacturing. 😢
The W126 (and W116 and W123) are incredibly well built vehicles which helps when maintaining them a wee bit further down the line. I've been pleasantly surprised when taking this one apart at just how impressive the construction is on these, even down to things like the exhaust heat shield which is 2-3 times thicker than the same item on any other vehicle I've worked on. Thanks for the comment - always hugely appreciated. 👍
Had this exact model in Australia 1989. ( Smoke Silver ) full options. Ticket price minus Government charges. $ 120,000.00. ( aud ) Outlasted a Rolls Royce and a Ferrari.( Both Rubbish ) We loved her more than some Family members. After 1992 Accountants and Greenies hijacked Daimler Benz and spawned the worst cars imaginable. Karl Benz would be turning in his Grave.
It sounds like you've had some incredible vehicles! It would be nice to have an older Ferrari in the garage (308 or 288GTO being my favourites). I think the W126 was one of the last truly well built Mercedes. Like you say - the accountants certainly had too much input in to the later series. The modern ones tend to be more focussed on gadgets as luxury rather than build quality. Thank you once again for watching. All the best - cheers! 🍻
Love my W126 300SE. Keep going. Greetings from Brazil.

Thanks for watching - very much appreciated. Whilst I'm biased, it's certainly one of my favourite colour combinations. Beautifully built vehicles.
300se is the Goldilocks of the w126 range. Really beautiful and well made vehicle.
Love mine, and I am the same age as it
