Clean lines and an unbelievably clean condition make this S-Class a real treat 👀
I have a treat for you. And if not for you, it’s certainly a treat for me – one I am genuinely thinking about buying myself. The only thing stopping me is the flipping ULEZ extension, which means I’d have to wait another five years before I could afford to fire up the old girl and take her for a spin.
It’s the fact that a six is an inherently balanced engine that does it for me. The cross-plane crooning of a V8 is all very nice, sure, but savouring the mechanical smoothness of a six – with its perfectly tuned primary and secondary forces – just tips it for me. I’m in good company, it would seem, because BMW has used sixes as the root of its entire range for years, and Mercedes has recently brought them back into the fold.
Also, give me velour over leather any day. Leather on a frosty winter’s morning is cold and hard, and sweaty in the summer heat. Velour, however, is soft, warm and inviting when it's freezing outside, and breathable when it’s baking. The best thing about this W126 – or any W126 for that matter – is the looks. It’s Mercedes at its most traditional and best, back when it was producing timelessly elegant designs backed up by the finest engineering in the business. Bruno Sacco was a master of the less-is-more philosophy of car design, so it’s no wonder to read he was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in 2006, and the European Automotive Hall of Fame in 2007.
