I have just bought a 560SEL with rusty arches, but otherwise, after driving it for a week, seemingly ok - and stupidly rapid for what it is.
I see Mr D 124 is putting wide arches on his S124 which I think is going to look great, and that got me thinking, what would a wide arched W126 look...
Hello all.
I am having a problem with my W126 560SEL that I thought you good people might be able to help me with. :D

I always fancied having one of these so bought one about 7-8 months ago. It drove well and was FAST on the motorway. Kickdown at 90 & you're doing 120+ very shortly thereafter. TBH I find the car too big & prefer the agility & nimbleness of smaller cars.

Hi all
Does anybody know of any tuning parts for the 560SEL engine?
Things like cams, common tuning routes on these engines, what they react well to etc, induction, exhaust and ecu are all easy to sort but I have little experience of this engine.
I have the european SEL version of the...
