6.9 Assessment

[Styria]

About a 29 minute video by "one owner car guy". Haven't looked at the video at any length, the guy's commentary is a bit over the top. More to come (i.e. my comments). Regards Styria

Paintwork very ordinary.

Underneath the car quite rough.

No R/H side passengers glass mirror.

Look behind the rear passengers seats inside the car!


Suspension starts to sag half way during the video.

Guy takes the 6.9 for a test drive the suspension is sitting back level again.

Adjusting the suspension adjustment inside the dash console with a screw driver seriously!


Looks to be a costly restoration.

How a 6.9 should look.

....and another 6.9, albeit in Astral Silver (not quite my favourite colour) in quite nice, and genuine, unmolested condition. The interior, perhaps, leaves a little to be desired. It lacks "freshness". Regards Styria

Another fine video Styria.

Japanese plates on the silver 6.9

There is no 450SEL on the badge on the car.

This video is in German perhaps Styria could you please translate what the guys are saying?

Good video of the W116 and W126 S-Class.

Timmy, fair crack of the whip - this video is 29 minutes in duration - it'd take a lot to translate. Besides, the quality of the audio part of the video leaves a little to be desired. Plus, them Germans speak a little differently to them Austrians !

Regarding your comments as far as the assessment is concerned, I still need to look at the video in full. Just give me a little bit of time. Regards Styria

N.B. Perhaps others on TK may have an opinion on the "one owner guy" assessment of the 6.9 ?

The car might be rehabilitated; not the seller.

'Fair crack of the whip', that is classic Aussie humor Styria.

Okay Styria.
