Description
Description
Dear W126 enthusiast,
Here you have a rare opportunity to purchase a truly exceptional example of a classic car, the W126.
But what makes it so special? The car comes from Switzerland, near Zurich. It belonged to the Parkhotel's fleet of vehicles. The fact that it comes from Switzerland alone says a lot about its condition. As you would expect, this special class vehicle is in perfect condition; no repainting, no rust, service booklet, air conditioning refilled, everything works...
The expert who assessed it for H certification was thrilled, saying it was “almost unbelievable.” You're guaranteed to turn heads and get comments when you drive it. Perhaps some of you have already seen it in Klassikstadt Frankfurt. It was there for a while, partly because the Schad company had lovingly cared for it so that it would be in the condition it is in now.
What sets this S-Class apart is the silky smooth V8 of the 420, which is not as brutal as the 560, its advantage and character comparable to that of a flying carpet, but always with reserve. The underdog? Certainly. Others say: "For connoisseurs. ‘Close the door, shut out the world’ – what people say about the S-Class is particularly true here. The medium red velour interior (which cost extra compared to leather) shows no signs of wear. As soon as the door is closed, you are captivated by it. And if you want to enjoy it undisturbed, leaving the outside world behind, simply draw the curtains, fold down the picnic table, and let yourself be chauffeured around. But this model also impresses in the front left; you immediately sense its grandeur and sovereignty in every respect, a chassis that still has nothing to hide today, a powerful engine that easily breaks the 200 mark, the long hood, and finally the constant presence of the star, which always reminds you where you are and how you feel: heavenly.
Please forgive me:
