ok , dilemma ... i can tell you what it is , but im going to look like a geek ..

Wait , everyone prob thinks that anyways ....

Its a W140 , no idea about the engine size.

You can tell by the depth of the seats and the contour.

I was guna say that aswell...(bout it being a W140) but one of the earlier replies indicated that it was an E-class.

It has "8 hole" alloys so would say that its an earlier W140

 

[Dieselman]

Hmm, not sure about that. Forget the alloys, look at the rear wing shape, it's too rounded for a 140. Also the front bumper still has the bottom black skirt left and the seats look 210 leather to me. It's a 210, I think.

 

[fuzzer]

i can kinda see where youre coming from .

But the rear of the car looks too tall and square for a w210 . looks more like a 140 back.

on closer inspection , that looks like a streight 6 engine.

 

[guydewdney]

def a 140 - its been posted up on a 140 forum - it lost Vs a truck.

somewhere in eastern europe iirc, and had some dignitary(s) on board...

 

[Dieselman]

Uh..Uh.

Still think it's a 210.
Clues:
Rear wing, rear bumper, front bumper under skirt under front bumper, shape of A pillar and C pillar.

 

[SamR]

Are you sure it's not a pillarless Coupe? Well it is now anyways...

[Dieselman]

Fair point Guy.

In the same photo you can clearly see it's a coupe.

Both the Lorry & Firetruck are Merc's too!
