The Mercedes W126 hardly needs an introduction, as it has been a favorite among famous business and political figures, as well as royal families, for at least two decades. This particular model features a 4.2L V8 engine and has been imported from Denmark. When I was searching for it, I wanted a classic car with modern luxuries such as ABS, cruise control, a sunroof, and electric & heated seats, all while being capable of handling highway speeds.

I have owned this car for the past 8 years, during which I've driven approximately 40,000 km, mostly on intercity trips. Throughout my ownership, it has always been serviced at an official Mercedes dealer, ensuring it remains in perfect condition for long-distance travel without any surprises. The car was restored before I acquired it, and as you can see from the pictures, the paint, lacquer, and chrome are in excellent condition with only minor exceptions.

I invested significantly in high-quality hydroisolation (about one-third of the car's value), so occasional drives in the rain do not affect the cabin's integrity. The car still has its original velour upholstery, which is preserved in great condition. Additionally, it features a walnut steering wheel, and all the rubber in the door and window frames is intact, which is very rare for a car of this age.
