W126 560SEL v W140 600SEL?

[carltonfc]

Well I will soon find out....

Saw an advert for what looked like a beautiful 1994 600SEL for sale local to me at 11am this morning....viewed it and drove it on the way back home from work at 5pm....by 7pm I had bought it...

Trouble is...part of the deal with the wife means I have to sell my W126 560SEL....

Can't pick it up until Sunday though as we have to drive up north early in the morning for a couple of days....

Roll on Sunday!

As much as I love the w126, the v12 in the 600 is another level.

Yeh indeed, had a 500SEL before, however, this one was way beyond that one....

Could you not sell the wife?

An excellent choice sir. Pics to follow soon I hope?

M120. One of the greatest engines of all time.

Indeed, however, all I can take is pictures of where it will be, as I don't pick it up until Sunday afternoon......

It has...and it works fine!!

And it has its original number plates with the dealers name on them too. Very nice indeed.

That looks really lovely!

Get a Becker stereo in there pronto.

Blue Black is a great colour when it's kept immaculately clean. Unfortunately it looks very dull with even a tiny amount of dirt so you'll have your work cut out for you.

Nice car; very nice. Don't say that about the colour, though; my R129 (if it's ever ready to be collected - don't ask...) is Schwarzblau, and I'm a bit allergic to washing cars.

Carltonfc, if you do decide to change the stereo, please may I have first dibs on yours (if it works) for my R129; it has a rather, er, colourful modern unit in at the moment.

Yep...I think you are spot on....it's a tricky colour to really get to shine at you....

This isn't just a stereo...

It has mini disc, navigation, and CD changer with a pop out screen, cost about 2k back in the day!....

Radio works fine, however, can't seem to get the Nav to kick in....it has the CD and everything though....haven't tested the CD changer as yet....

 

[E55BOF]

Ah... Include me out; the R129 is just a weekend car (if it is ever ready..), so I don't need all that other stuff. All I need is a decent radio and slot CD unit, that looks reasonably original. I dare say the one in the car works fine, but it doesn't look right.
