I couldn't not.... It was so cheap I didn't even have to go get more cash out to pay for it. Picking it up on Monday.

I can vouch for this book being an invaluable resource for W126 related information from start to finish.

It would seem that I am destined to be the custodian of stray 300SE's evermore. Just when I start thinking about selling my current 300SE, an opportunity to buy a one owner, immaculate 300SE with 260k km's on the clock in metallic blue with mushroom leather interior, full service history & just...

More 8cyl's, less M110's... As I say, I have a healthy respect for the M110 with its lovely balanced M110 engine but I feel the need for some grunt this time, something that pulls a big chassis easily, rather than just!

I watch & wait like a tiger, ready to pounce!

Sorry about the late reply.... I've been offline a while. I don't mind the M110 at all, in fact I'm very familiar with it having worked on them in W116 & worked & owned W126 + W123 chassis fitted with the beautifully balanced, DOHC straight 6. I'm not on FB either, does anyone know if it's still...

So it looks like I'll be increasing my budget by around double. That's ok, it's still only a drop in the ocean of what I've been fortunate enough to have been left but I am so glad you've given me all of this advice, I tend to get carried away when looking at potential cars to purchase & miss...

My only hesitation with this 450 is that it's been for sale for a while... I've watched a few others come & go in the time it's been listed. That's not to say there's anything at all wrong with it but it does make me wonder why. It could be the colour, people either seem to love or hate...

This is all great information & I welcome any similar suggestions for my search. I don't know why I had it in my head that I wanted a 350 but I'm happy to alter the dream to a 450. The reason K-Jetronic over D-Jetronic is because having worked extensively on early model W126's and late model...

Hi everyone, I know this is a bit of a long shot especially with the timeframe I'm looking at but I am receiving an inheritance in late February, early March & am desperately wanting to buy a decent quality 1973+ (K-Jetronic) 350SLC or (if the 350 isn't available, a 450SLC. I have always wanted...

Too new for me too! I reckon the last of the decent Benz' rolled off the production line were the W126 (& related) & to a lesser extent, the real W124's.

Have you got any 300SE W126 (Oct 89, MY 90) applicable? My goodness it'd be great to have a proper printed copy instead of poor quality images you can hardly see & having to print out various sections as required.
